Welcome to the Router Forums Handoverfiste. Tell us what kind of routing you intend to do? What are you planning to make? Hand or table routing?

Thanks for responding. I intend to start with hand routing, and hopefully move on from there. This is showing my inexperience with routers as I thought I could find a decent hand router and then proceed to get a decent table for it. I was looking at a MILWAUKEE 5615-24 was wondering what the opinion was of them. Picked up a routing magazine the other day and it received excellent reviews. Read some of the reviews here about Craftsman 2 hp Soft Start Fixed and Plunge Base Router w/Electronic Feedback. For 119.00 this seems like from what I have read briefly here a very good router for the money.

I agree, the Craftsman router combo is a good place to start. You can mount the fixed base in a table and use the plunge for hand held.
