What a neat little router! I would use it without trying to repair it. The moment you put heat on it to braze or weld it it will become weaker at that spot. I was told by a welder once that any cast iron that needed to welded had to be heated red hot for a successful weld job. It will take an experienced welder to make the attempt and it may warp with the heat. Either way it’s not broken yet, if it does break then you have no choice but to try and fix it, if you try and repair it first you may never get to even use it.
