Also a bit more expensive --- found one link which indicates it'd be
$16 or so:

(will have to keep that in mind the next time I'm out that way)
The cutter does seem to be available though:

My 40 year old made-in-England 271 holds an edge forever,
decent quality steel. Taking out a heavy shaving gives your
thumbs a workout, not much to grip, but works great if
you only cut a few thou per pass, much easier to sneak
up on a precise depth than a 3 HP plunger. Use an index
card stuck between the workpiece and the base of the router
for a setting gauge.

Yes, back then, they cared. My point was that today, an inexpensive
tool is likely _not_ made of good quality steel and likely isn't
properly hardened and tempered.
>Taking out a heavy shaving gives your

It's also dangerous. The plane accidentally jumps the groove and ends
up on a section you wanted untouched. Now it has nasty gouges in it.
DAMHIKT. BTW, unsharp blades cause the same type of mishap.

I have a dial indicator on my old B&D router, so I -can- change the
depth by a couple thou and -get- it.

Excellent idea.

John, did you resolve the problem with the Magnetic Switch? What did you
find was the problem?

You are shopping at much nicer, much better stocked stores than I am.
Any tips on where to look?

I see them at my club's woodworking show in Saratoga Springs each year...
but perhaps they are not new ones or are NOS (new old stock)???

Out of curiousity I looked up where and when I got mine. It was from
http://www.mikestools.com in April 2003. I took a look there and didn't find
them and a Google search left me with a bunch of "stuff" to search through.
Perhaps they aren't in current production.
I know Veritas and Lie-Nielson have steel interpretations of the 271 with
the L-N being closer in form to the original. I've seen wooden offerings in
catalogs also.

As an aside, this thread may have given me my lecture topic for the 2012
show in Saratoga... I've been puzzled about what to lecture on and routers
may be a good topic. Last year I did scrub planes... Rob Lee from Lee Valley
graciously loaned me some new and some antique scrub planes so I added a
compare and contrast aspect to the presentation.

They work fine!

For that price, it's likely a piece of rebar, bent and sharpened. ;)

Well, in the face of not having time to call Jet during business hours, I
moved the "dial" one number higher... I tested it for a while and it seems
to be working OK. I've got to cut and build 5 more patrol boxes for my sons'
Scout Troop so I'll know soon enough if it's really OK!
