Elu router

[Jim Daughtridge]

Good morning, I have an old Elu router that in a careless move knocked off my bench. When meeting my concrete floor it destroyed the right handle (Right as you face the speed control on the router).

I have tried the web for spare parts with no success and thought I would ask if anyone might have an Elu in non working order that they would be willing to sell me the handles off of?

Thank you,
Jim

Elu was purchased by B&D/DeWalt, the modern-day descendants of the two top-line models are the DW621 and the 625... You might be able to find DeWalt parts that fit.

You don't say where you're located, but parts may be available in Europe: https://www.partshopdirect.co.uk/br...d-parts-g40/elu-router-spares-and-parts-c275/

Looking at the diagrams at the site Jim linked to, the handles look relatively simple. Have you considered making a pair of wooden ones?

Have you considered making a pair of wooden ones?

Agree w/Vaughn. Wood is a pretty good substance for making stuff. Or so some here claim. Actually, handles made from something like Osage Orange will outlive the router.
