So a couple weeks ago my uncle gave me close to 1000 dollars worth of tools from were he works that they were going to throw out because they use cnc's for making signs now instead of using handheld routers. He got told to throw all the portable tools out and he asked if he could have them to give to me and they let him. He gave me a dewalt plunge router a dewalt trim router a porter cable biscuit jointer a ryobie trim router a craftsman trim router a old black and Decker router a a board with about 20 router bits in it a incra square a lock miter bit a set of marples chisels the good ones that were made in Sheffield England instead of china a set of 20 really good wood river router bits a set of 15 wood river forestner bits and a portable drill press. I only use to have one router and 8 bits for it so its been really nice having a different bit in each router and having all the bits that I need. The incra square has been great because I was able to find out that my old square was not really square and now everything I make fits better together. SO the one question that I have is that some of the rubber has cracked and fallen off the cord were it goes into the tool. I took the router apart so I could get a better look at the cord and it looked like it was OK but when I did that some of the rubber fell off the cord and the rubber below that looks like it is fine but I don't know if it is OK to use it like this or should I put a new cord on it which I don't know how to do. Even though I have 5 other router I would like if I was able to use this one and keep a chamfering bit in it.
