RYOBI ROUTER ERT241200 - Dead prefered! Parts wanted...
Hi All
Yeh I finally got a /2" Router and the Guy told me the Locking Coller was busted and he used a screw driver to help lock the hex coller!! Ouch!!
It would appear these used a one piece arrangement under the motor housing and all I have left is 3 screw holes presumably for the "Push Spindle Lock" which is missing.
I've looked at the options of getting "Flats" machined on the side of the spindle but the whole unit would have to be stripped down thats it's not really viable and too costly.
I've looked at "C" Clamps but they are also very expesive and dont seem to hold in the the shallow depth of the holes (double sided) drilled in to the Spindle.
I do have one last option left - I could make a short steel handle with a round Pin welded into the end that is the exact fit of the spindle hole. That would "do the job" as the say.
I have contacted Bunnings here in NZ and they concur the the unit is No longer Made and spares are hard to get. Ryobi NZ failed to respond to emails.
So I thought I would "Cast my Wish on the waters" of the forum here and see what may come up? If i could just get the original spindle locking coller that would be great - plus the fact of shipping over here
Thanks everyone.
The old re-cycler out!
I like this icon lol.

By going to Trend's website and looking up their compatibility guide you would be able to determine it's collet type, and possible interchangeability with other manufacturers' products.
With this info at hand, you can explore the possibility of fitting an eliminator chuck or equivalent . These, once fitted, permanently negate the need for spindle locks or spanners.

Thanks "Ratbag"
Sorry for late response as PC now overheating and is failing so trying to "balance everything" else as best I can...
Will search the net for "Trends" Website and see what i find.
An Eliminator sounds good! must clue up on this one...
Got em - "MuscleChuck" and "Eliminator" amongst a few names (Quick Change Chucks) are avail via places like Amazon.com ($70US + Frt) however did not or have not found one for a Ryobi specifically yet. Great idea.
Sound like some woodworkers would prefer a inner sleeve though to prevent 'scoring' the Bit Shafts a little. Apart form that ... brilliant idea - wonder if anyone is making them over here in Godzone?
Cheers
Chris
