Hitachi TR 12 Parts
I have a couple of TR 12s. One I bought new 10 or so years ago and the other was a rescue from Ebay. The rescued one I got going and freed up the plunge mechanism but the main shaft has 2 flats machined to let a spanner hold it while you use the second spanner to grip for the collett. A later model has a hex shaft which makes it a lot easier to change router bits. I would like to change to the hex shaft if I could. Any other parts would be handy as well
What I was thinking was, if some one had a dead TR12 they may want to "dispose" of it my way and I could keep these 2 going. I will be happy to cover costs.Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

I didn't think "dead" was a valid option for the TR12
Certainly can't seem to kill the one at work and it's not for lack of trying

Elan as you would know in a Joinery with blokes who don't have to supply the gear, care is a foreign word to them. When I was working we had 2 Makitas that took a hiding and eventually gave up the ghost. They were replaced by 2 TR 12s, but I had to leave, so I don't know how long a life they had. But everything dies in the end and I am just hoping someone may give me their "cast off".
The one I "rescued" one from Ebay, had been shoved in a table and must have only had one height setting. The plunge action was frozen and took a lot of gentle pressure and WD 40 to get it free. It fired up and ran OK but over the weekend I was using it and I think I need to renew the brushes and probably change the bearings as well. Some thing is not being happy under load. They are a good machine!!!Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

Just had another thought.....I would be interested in any accessories to suit the TR 12. The "rescued" one came as just the bare router
Just do it!
