Router

Hi,

Yesterday I bought a router in B&Q. It obviously needed some home assembly..
and after completing it according to my instuctions, I still had 4 pieces
left.. I asked my Dad, and he said, don't use it till you've find out from
the people on your newsgroup where they go.. they could be important sadety
bits.

Below I have described them..

Piece 1) Small metal block (c. 1.5x0.75cm) with grooves on either sine (the
long ones) and out of one od the short ends is a spring which is restrained
a little by a flexible piece of wire. - (There is 2 of these)

Piece 3) Small metal silver tube (c. 3x1cm) with a slit up to 2 inches from
one end Through the slit, there is a horizontal hole which is threaded, and
a threaded pointy screw goes through it with a butterfly washer on it.

Piece 4) Small metal nuts, (c. 5mm diam) (There is 2 of these)

Please could you let me know a) what the parts are and b) where they go on
the router.

Thanks,
SB

Sam - good idea posting a pic, but you should post your pics to
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking and then let everyone here know you posted
over there. It's helpful to provide everyone with the Subject of your
binary post.

Piece 1 sounds like replacement motor brushes to me?

Not sure about #3 though.

I smell a troll. I've never seen a router that you had to assemble when you
get home.

I thought that too but didn't like to say. I bought my router here in the
UK at B & Q (Performance Pro 2050), took it out of the box, plugged it in
and Bob's your uncle as we say here. I did have to put a router bit in it
though before I could do anything useful :-)

Pieces 1 and 2 go on part #5 as shown in Figure 6A. Piece 3 screws onto
part #9 from Figure 12. The nuts go on the threaded thingie.
Seriously, if you want a chance at an answer to this question, you might
want to try something more descriptive than "a router". Does this router
have a name and model?

Hi, I have taken a picture of part 3 and as this newsgroup rejects pics, I
have put it in:- alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking

Please have a look there :)

Thanks

Metal blocks ? Or graphite, possibly with bronze powder in it ?
They're spare brushes for the motor - you don't need these
immediately. Maybe one day you might, but it's rare.

Hard to say without pictures, but it might be a centre pin for a
radius guide. It screws through a hole in the fence (the thing that
slides on the two bars) and it's used to hold the router on the centre
of a circle while you swing it around to cut circles.


>Piece 4) Small metal nuts, (c. 5mm diam) (There is 2 of these)

Could be anything. Found any matching bolts ?


You ought to get an exploded parts view with Black & Decker.


www.patwarner.com is an essential reads for lots of router
information.

interesting page... kind of funny that the depth is metric and the
collet is imperial..
