old rockwell router parts

I’m trying to find parts for a rockwell router model #310B, it’s an oldie but a goodie, passed down so I would like to keep it going so I can do the same. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian

Does it look like this?

I would be willing to bet that parts for the Porter Cable 310 and your Rockwell are interchangeable. Rockwell owned Porter Cable for a time. Aside from the polished housing the 310b sure looks like the 310.

What parts are you looking for?

You probably do have essentially the same machine as the PC310 - mostly cosmetic changes from the Rockwell branded router to the PC model. But be forewarned, since Black & Decker bought Porter Cable (and Delta for that matter), they are methodically decimating the tool line.

Most of the items disappearing are what I call the Industrial Strength machines, the 548 Bayonet Saw and the 503 Belt Sander are gone - and the 310 router does not show up in their on-line catalogue. B&D has a philosophy of not supporting tools after 10 years so there is a window of opportunity for parts, but the clock is ticking.
