Hey thanks for the reply Bob! How did you know I was sitting here looking at the MLCS catalog all day ( been off with bad back this week) looking at that little Marvel Router. I take it you think it is worth the money then? Is the adjustable fence decent? I like the looks of the plunge base.

My router uses the 1 3/16 set up as well, not the 1 1/2 forgot that so I guess I will need to get either the Grizzly or MLCS set up. Are the guides sizes different in these 2 sets? Can a 1/4 bit be used with them to remove more material?

How did you modify the marvel plunge base to use the 1 3/16 template guide? Can a goof like me do it?

I do like the patterns that Oak Park has available. I would want the pencil box and oval set at least. Those would be perfect for what I want to do. The Milescraft set looks nice and alot of patterns but not sure if I would use much of them. Now I see they have the Spiro Crafter, do you have that? Reminds me of a drawing toy I had as a kid, the spirograph I have a Craftsman letter template set but I want to do fancier letters than that. I would probably have to make my own letter templates on the scroll saw.

Anyway, thanks for the info, I am thinking on that Marvel router!! I am also considering Grizzly little 1 HP plunge router.
