Each person has their own "best" router. This may sound strange but it is true. I suggest you click on the blogs link and select Sawdust dreams. This is my blog and you will find a wealth of information on choosing the right router for you, info on bits, tables and such. Please keep in mind that I live in the US so the router suggestions I make are based on what is available here. The principles are the same the world over so for those in other countries it is a matter of comparing what is available the same way.
