I have need of the same part as you Jon. Did you or anyone else have
success in finding it?
Thanks,

As an alternative, if this is the collet nut you refer to, you might
look into replacing it with a "QuickRout" bit connector, also sold
through Sears. Then you'll have quick bit replacement capacity to boot.

Folks - thanks for your suggestions. My son, also, suggested having the part made. However, the cost implies that one must be really attached to this commercial grade router to invest in making a new part. One can purchase new Craftsman routers between $60 to $100 or more with easier to use features today.
Regardless of my final solution to the part need, I have another challenge: how to remove the bit that is currently in the collet. Any suggestions?
