I have not had much luck looking for a PC 7518 motor only. Don't need the base as it is meant to be permanantly mounted in a table on a lift. There seems to be small motors available at various locations on the web but I can't pin this one down. I have located refurbished at a fairly reasonable price at Tool Barn but thought there might be another source.

Thanks,
Randy

I got mine off Ebay a few years back. I paid $125 and it is a Workhorse!

I don't know how far you are from Tulsa, but the Woodcraft store there has them. Not sure of the price. Phone number is 918-384-0100. I'm the manager there, but temporarily off work due to health issues.

Good Luck. I ended up buying the regular package several months ago. I could find plenty of places online selling the motor only, but the best prices available were for the motor and base. I ended up getting mine on amazon.

Randy, I got mine from Rockler a couple years ago. Look through their router table packages and you can find it in the list of options.

I did spot a couple online but they were about the same price as a package. Thanks for all the help. I will check out these and see what I find. I will also watch Ebay.

Many thanks,
Randy

2 years ago I bought the 7518 with the base from Amazon on a Father's Day special at 225.00. It was 50.00 cheaper than the motor only I saw at that time. Maybe the holidays will bring forth some good sales, if you're not in a terible hurry. Jim.

For what it's worth I found a Refurb on Amazon through Amazon sellers for 249.00. This is the best I saw so I lowered the hammer on it. Got confirmation it will be here in 10 days.
Thanks to all who replied.
