    need replacement for collet nut on craftsman router 31517480

    No longer available from Sears, Craftsman, or secondary sources. SOOO, is there a different brand with same threads, etc. (Ryobi maybe) whose parts will work on this elderly Craftsman?????? Open to suggestions for solution.Thanks!

    It was made by TTI/Ryobi, so they're certainly worth a try. You could always check Craigslist for a whole used router that's cheap.....or advertise for the nut...it's possible someone has a dead or broken router around with a nut that will fit.

        Tell them that you're looking for a collet nut to fit your Ryobi made Cman router, and give them the model number.

            I did a quick google and found a forum post from 2004 with someone looking for this part which was out of production *then*. Chances are you're not going to find one 10 years later.

            That said, it would be a good idea to bring it to a real hardware store (NOT a big box) and see if you can find something that works. Assuming you have the actual collet...

              I also did a search (lot of posts on Routerforum) and found the thread size listed, but no matching router collets. What someone did find that worked was a collet from an autobody puller.
              Most of the Ryobi chucks I could find information on, were listed as metric.
              She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.
