Both should still be available at Sears.
I noticed the router bit attachment on the rack in my local store just 2
weeks ago (last time I was there). The drill chuck is even more common and
should be even easier to find. I bought one of these off the rack at Sears
last year with no problem. All Craftsman radial arm saws use the same part
numbers, which is why they are still available. In my opinion neither part
is very useful though. The saw's motor doesn't turn fast enough to get
good
results with a router bit and unless you plan on using a buffer or
something
with the drill chuck it isn't very useful either. It's a very difficult
way
to drill holes.

I agree with the router part; 3400rpm is too slow to do anything useful.
But I have use the drill several time as a horizontal boring machine. It
drilled holes I don't think I could have gotten any other way; at least not
with the same precision/ease..
I bought a plain old chuck at a garage sale for a couple bucks; luckily it
fit the RAS. I don't know what the thread is, but is pretty standard and
should be readily available.
