Just sold my Delta table saw set up that had a built in router table with a Triton router. I came across a really nice old Unisaw which also had a router table built in, but no router. I've located an old Porter Cable 5201 router, which I understand is no longer in production. I can't seem to find any information on it. My concern is purchasing any parts that might wear out, brushes etc. It's a 3 1/2 hp unit so it can cut through just about anything. I was thinking of setting it up in the table saw extension and using an MLCS speed control to get variable speeds out of it.
I've also come across a nice Bosch 1617 EVSPK that I can use for manual routing. Anyone know anything about the 5201 and if parts are available?
Thanks,
Joe
