foredom / router wrench
#8
Anyone know where you can get custom sized thin wrenches like the kind used on routers?  I recently picked up a used foredom rotary tool but the wrench is missing.  I also need to get a replacement one for a Milwaukee router.

Well you could do what my Dad did. Buy something at a garage sale and grind it down. Been working that way for many years.

The Milwaukee is a 2-wrench router, did you just misplace one? (PS, Porter Cable wrenches fir as well.)
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Thanks. Just placed my order. I figured foredom would have it but was wondering if there was a company that made general sized ones.

The Milwaukee router is the cordless version and has a spindle lock and only 1 wrench.

Ha!  I've done that several times with cheap flea market wrenches.  Pretty effective.

Amazon sells them..just look for "thin open ended wrench"

Coincidentally, I recently lost/misplaced the collet wrench for my Foredom handpiece but found that one that fit from some random hardware kit (bed frame?).

I keep almost all of those tools from such kits as long as they're not junk.
