Jon, Got one around here that the armature went south on it. Not sure on
the number will try to check for number. I always keep small parts like
that. I need more info though. Is it the collet nut you are after or does
this nut go elsewhere? Is it 1/4 or 1/2" collet if the answer to the above
question is yes? The old router I have is a 1/4" collet. Also a company in
Louisville Ky called "Tool repair service" seems to be able to get
anything. Will try to get you a phone number tomorrow. Lyndell

I've got an older (10-15 years?) Craftsman router model 315.17380 and
need a replacement part. The notched hex nut broke the other day, and
when I tried to order the part through the Craftsman website I was
told the part was no longer available. After calling their help line,
they suggested my local Sears parts store (in Albuquerque), which was
also unable to locate the part. I like this router and really don't
want to have replace it because of a $0.50 part. Any suggestions?
Part number is 1-623793-01.
Thanks!
Jon
