Hi Ernie

I would suggest a Bosch Colt router,,,,you want something that's light but has the power you want and need...

Here's a link to a base plate that's neat to use for sign making because you can see what you are doing...all the time..

You may say but I want a plunge router, you can use a Porter Cable base with the Colt with a easy to make adapter ring so the Colt fits into the PC plunge base and still keep the weight down so you have total control of the router..

Here's a link to the one I made for my Colt

I also need advice on sources for templates and such that I might be interested in.
