I recently got an M12v for my router table on Amazon for about $130. I figured if it was good enough for you (even if the episodes I watch are a few years old) then it must be decent enough for my use.

Needless to say, this router has a lot of power and it seems a lot less noisy than the PC890 I've been using in my router table. I wasn't sure what to expect by going with more hp, but it plows grooves right through stock a heck of a lot cleaner and easier than my old router did.

I know people have opinions on whether they remove the tabs in the router that retain the bushings and after mounting the router to a new plate, I decided to remove them. I used a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade when I was in the process of removing the springs. The jigsaw easily removed the majority of the tabs and a bastard file smoothed the rough edges.

With the Rousseau plate I got, my bushings lock into the plate or I can snap out the plastic reducers and install my 3 1/2" panel raising bit without any interference. Thanks for the good information I got here.
