Hi, I purchased a bunch of older equipment off of a guy. Some of the items are 2 Craftsman routers. One has a jig attached to it and it looks like it cuts a rabbet. I just turned it on and decided to plunge it into a piece of wood to see what it would do and it took the underside of the board off about an eighth of an inch and about 3/8 inch deep. After setting the router on the board surface, you push the router in to move in for the cut. Does this sound like a jig for rabbets? The blade looks like the cutter in my biscuit jointer.
The routers sounded a bit like they needed to be lubricated. They have not been used in a few years. Can anyone advise me on how to get the routers in proper working condition? After letting them run a few times for a few seconds, they sounded better, but I thought I would ask the more knowledgeable out there. Thanks, Keith .
