Comments:
Three Craftsman routers picked up at a yard sale for a total of $5. Very dirty when acquired especially the aluminum bases. Dissembled, cleaned, bearings replaced, base painted in red in keeping with current Craftsman colors. All three came with cases, wrenches, and manuals. The earlier model 315.17381 made in 1976 is slightly different with an aluminum lower motor housing and a polymer top, the model 315.17480 ones made in 1979 have an all polymer motor housing. These were no longer listed in the Sears catalog by 1981. All three run well.
