scrawled the following:


Ditto. An old B&D jigsaw and belt sandah sit on my shelf, ready for
use. If you need a shop shelf, cut the board with an axe or B&D
jigsaw, shorten to length with the sandah, and put 'em up.

My old jig saw was all metal and no tilt shoe. The drill frame is metal
with a plastic handle, single speed, 1/4", keyed chuck, and forward only.




And my old B&D 7614 is a 1/4", 1.5hp, rack&pinion/micrometer fed
routah which I can adjust to within a RCH. I've always loved that old
beastie.

Mine be earlier as it only has 3/4" hp and is all metal except for the
plastic handles and bottom of the base. I was never very fond of the rack
and pinion on my model as it used a wing nut to fix the adjustment but
unfortunately tightening the wing nut would readjust the depth. It is my go
to router for triming laminate. where the bottom bearing laminate bit is not
so fussy about depth settings.
