I'm currently making a cocktail arcade table (remember playing galaga at the takeaway?), and as such have had to teach myself to use a router. I'm currently using a B&D 2103 circa 19-prewar. It's ok, but lacks plunge and two unbroken handles.
I was at the hardware store this arvo picking up supplies and I spied an 'ex-display' Skil 1823 (specs here: http://www.toolbarn.com/cgi-bin/products.cgi/1823/) down from their price of $199 to $50, only catch is it comes with nothing. No manual, standard accessories, not even the nut which tightens the bit in.
My question is: Will I be able to get in contact with the distributor or somesuch and buy the missing parts, or am I better off leaving this on the shelf? (I know, I know, buy the Triton)
Finally, t-moulding, where can I buy this stuff? (I'm in Brisbane) At the moment I'm looking to import it from the US, as it's hard enough finding it in black, let alone colours. I'm after 12m of 3/4" chrome, so if anyone knows where I can get it in Oz please let me know.
