I have a classic router (Craftsman model 315.17480) that I've owned for ~35 years with no problems--except one. This model has a work light (uses a standard 12V automotive bulb) that won't light apart from the split second when the trigger is first squeezed. But there's an odd twist to the story: I briefly ran this router using an in-line potentiometer (no cutting load, by the way) at a reduced voltage to reduce the RPMs to verify rotation direction. During this reduced voltage test, the light came on and stayed on.
So: anyone have any words of wisdom as to how to make the work light stay on while the router operates? Thanks.
