I have been searching for a dust-collection device for my Skil 1817 fixed-base router, and I can't seem to find anything. I keep coming upon the same press release that indicates it is compatible with the "RAS131 dust hood", but I can't find that anywhere (Google, Amazon, Skiltools, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, etc.).
Does anyone know where I can find this or another compatible accessory?
If you have a router, you can use the Beall Wood Threader. A kit to thread one-inch dowels is US$85. They have kits to do smaller sizes or multi-size kits. Parts are included to do both inside and outside threading.
You can find a hand tool on eBay.
Here's a source for ready-to-use threaded dowels in half-inch and three-quarter-inch diameters up to three feet in length.
Here is a source for metal hardware: Lee Valley Tools.
Additional information can be found by searching for "threaded dowel" or "piano stool threaded".
The CNC Zone has an area for matching up people who need CNC work done.
You can also look in your yellow pages for people who make wooden signs as these are commonly made by CNC.
