Hello! I'm a newbie wanting to put together a tabletop router and currently collecting parts. This is my first post. I found a used spindle with no support information. It's made by a Swiss company, Albe S.A. They were aquired by Mikron in 1986, so this unit is at least that old.

Photos are posted here.

Any information anyone can provide would be great. There is precious little on the 'net.

My questions:

1. Function of the various ports on the body (purge, cooling?).
2. Type of toolholder (I don't know how to tell) needed.
3. Any info concerning the missing piston/hardware for the pneumatic release.
4. Advice on a suitable drive for the motor (info with pictures)

Thanks in advance!

I submitted this thread and (wouldn't you know it) my ISP is having "technical problems". The link is valid-it should be up soon. Thanks!
