Help me clear some bench space

[reible]

Many years ago when I got my overhead router it came with a router. I tried the router to see if it even worked and it did. I did not remount it or ever use it. So it has been setting on a shelf for a while. I dug it out of the shelf and put it on the work bench last fall......... and yes it has sat there ever since.

So today I check to see if it still runs, and it does. It is a 1HP, 1/4" collet, single speed router, sorry no wrench, it does have a bracket mounted light that looks to be hand made that must have been mounted to the OPR and the router was made for Sears.

So here is the deal, I want to part with it. There is no paper work, no base and I have no idea how much life if any is left in it. Missing the base makes me giving it to the restore a waste as unless you happen to have the very same router and wanted to swap bases you would not have much use for it. But perhaps someone here has an over arm router and could use it in there. Or some sort of lift? Or maybe you have the base?

The rules for the free router are simple. First it is free and if I can ship it for $10-$12 that is also free. You have to live in the US so there is not a problem with shipping. You have to have at least 10 posts here on the forum. You have to acknowledge that you know this is "as-is" by PM. First PM to me gets it.

If no one wants it then I guess it is off to the restore, let me know by 4/30/18.

I will have to find a box for it and shipping might be early next week, depending on how well I do searching for a box.

Cool deal. Looks like the baby sibling to mine. I wonder if it would fit....?

The router has been spoken for.

Thank goodness...

BTW, I have cleaned my woodshop workbench off about 12 times in the last week and it is still a mess today. As I climb the stairs up from the basement I can hear "stuff" climbing back up on it.

I have not seen the top surface of either of the benches in the farm shop in maybe 30 years.
