I have a Craftsman model 315.269210 I use upside down with a router table. It has a ring to turn to adjust the depth / elevation of the bit.
It has come to the point where it is nearly impossible to turn the ring. I suspect sawdust has drifted down into where the housing is threaded and jammed the ring.
I have is somewhat disassembled, having the shaft out, but I cannot get the metal base away from the plastic housing. Is there a way to disassemble the router the clear out the sawdust? Is there any other way to deal with this problem?
The design seems unbelievably bad.
Thanks Mike Thomas
