Hi
I was looking in to buying a router for my leigh jig so I don't have to take my big router outa my router table all the time and came across this forum.It looks like there is a lot of good info here, and nice people from the posts that i've read.

I'm a tool and die maker by trade.So i'm looking for a very accurate router .I'm also a volunteer firefighter as you can see by my name.

If you have any questions about tools, I'll try and help with 15 years of tool building experiance.

Welcome to the forums FF2. Have you decided on a router yet? Lots of good routers out there. Most are as accurate as any others. I am a dewalt fan myself and really a fan of the new craftsman routers. My son is a firefighter as well, soon to be city fire fighter.

Welcome FF72,
Your gona love this forum. It's the best I've ever been on.
"tool and die maker "
Great! Although most (not all) of us work with wood and plastic most of the time, there's always an instance where we need to do something with metal. Aluminum is usually a first choice. If you ever have any thoughts about tools (cutters & such) that us woodworkers could benefit from please give us you're thoughts. We may never buy a Mill for our home shops but the ocassional use of an end mill would be a boon to jig making. Until then ENJOY!
Jim
