I have an old Craftsman router that has a light on it which I find very helpful. I also have Bosch 1617 EVSPK & Porter Cable 690LR routers, neither of which have a light.
Does anyone know of a way to add lights to either or both of these routers?
Thanks
Dennis

Not without opening it up and then not sure how your would attach a light. But, I have an old 1/4 inch POS Craftsman router with a light and also found it a very useful feature. Surprised others haven't done it. How about using some of the new LED light sources with a small disc type battery. Let me know when you have it figured out;)

Why don't you buy a Petzel type LED headlamp setup and find a way to mount it to the router?
