Craftsman Router Repair

Aug 31, 2005 6 Replies

I have a Craftsman router, Model #315.175110. The Depth Adjustment Ring is frozen and I can not raise or lower my cutters. Any suggestions on how I can free up the ring so I can use the router? Thanks, Rob K


Be sure that your clamp is releasing. I can't imagine any other reason for the ring to be frozen, but I've been wrong before.

Needs a new part. You can find the proper replacement parts at this place.

Just go ahead and use it as is... Craftsman's patented ARHA (Automatic Router Height Adjustment) will kick in after only a minute or two.

If you feel a router should cut at a height selected by the user, get a different brand of router, ANY other brand.
