Router Mount Cracked

[tylerhey]

I have Shark HD3 (Purchased 10/9/15) and the router mount has broken. I am using a Porter Cable 892 router. Any ideas if a replacement is available? Has this happened to any else?

Thanks,

Tyler

This is a common problem and has been for years.

These threads may be of help to you.
There is an aluminum clamp available from Dixie Billet. IMHO a much better alternative to the plastic clamps that break and stretch.

I went with Dixie Billet in aluminum and I'm very pleased with it.

Tylerhey,

I also went with Dixie Billet in aluminum. I thought it pricey at first, but have never had problems and I'm very pleased with it.

Not only does he make good products, he will actually correspond with you, like he wants to be a friend.

Lastly, because it is aluminum, I moved my ground from my router to it and it grounds the router. Grounding the router was difficult to get to the bolts that actually go to something metal.

Let us know what you decide or find out.

I have an aluminum version of this clamp for sale.
