My dad passed away in 1998. He loved power tools. Today I was going
through the
attic and found an almost new Craftsman 315.276040 3 HP Electronic Plunge
Router. It was purchased new in 1992 for $215.00 Now I'm going to have to
go
through everything to see what's there.

Now I need to learn how to use it. Question: Is it possible to use a
plunge
router in a router table? I really like the 3HP size of the motor.


In principle yes, altho you might have to modify the base to attach to the
table.
Note, tho, that 3 Sears HP = 1 Porter Cable HP. No foolin....
Sears used locked-rotor current (stalled motor current) to calc their hp --
a total scam.
