No one was able to help me out with this question so I took the plunge and bought this router. Yes, the Eliminator chuck that fits the Bosch routers works fine. The body is the same diameter as several Bosch, Porter Cable, and Dewalt (3.5") routers. I have yet to fully test this router out to give you my opinion of how well it works.

I've been looking at the Craftsman model 02768. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00902768000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 as a possible inexpensive router alternative for a z-axis upgrade. In some other forums people have mentioned it's similar to the Bosch 1617EVS (some have said identical). Both routers have a much smaller body than the PC 7518 Legacy used and I see that as a plus. My hesitation in trying this router is I really like the eliminator chuck. One is made for the Bosch routers but I don't know if it fits the Sears router. Does anyone know if the bosch eliminator chuck will work on this router? As a side note, I know the XtremeXtension will work if all else fails. Any thoughts would be appreciated. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
