Crank handle for Craftsman

[Joe Scharle]

Router Crafter needed. Model # 720.25250.
This handle has what looks to be about a 5/8" spur or star drive on one end. Sears parts responds with "no longer available".

The Router Crafter is used to flute table legs or other round stock, by guiding a router on rails above the stock.

If you get desperate, you may be able to find the parts necessary to recreate or rebuild your part from Reid Supply. They are a good source for gears, sprockets, knobs and crangs, etc. They will also send catalogs to individuals (unlike some these days) -- or you can download their catalog to your PC as a PDF document.

You might also have success if you can track down someone else's damaged Router Crafter and scavenge the necessary parts from such.

I made a wood spur shaft yesterday and cut a piece to attach a handle. Ain't pretty, but may work until someone trips over one in their junk pile :gar-La;
