A couple of times Bob has suggested "having a router for every bit so you don't have to make any changes". I know that is wishful thinking but I am curious, how many routers do you guys have all together?

I told my wife Judy that Bob and Rick say you can never have too many routers, and Norm Abrams says you can never have too many clamps. And she said a wife can never have too many diamonds. Oooops.

I was at a show one time when the This Old House host was giving a talk. Most of questions seemed to be about Norm....... Steve said Norm had something like 34 routers, now was he kidding, I don't know.

I know I don't have enough, money or routers so unless I solve the first problem I don't see how the second is going to get fixed......

Guess if I had a sponsor to send me new routers which would get highlighted in a TV show, I would have more than I had room to store, too! I think suppliers are always after Norm to use their products on his show.

We have 3 or 4 old stanley routers, 1 champion early 19th century, 2 early 50's skill, 3 B&D industrial grade for stair construction, 2 Rockwell, 1 old PC, early Cordless Makita trim router, one of the first Elu plunge routers to NA plus 3 of the production Elu, 3 of the B&D modified routers from Elu (Dewalt 625), 6 of the Dewalt 625, First Hitachi TR12's 1979 plus approx. 10 more TR12's and M12V, 2 Freud, 2 Trim routers from Hitachi, 2 PC 518's, 4 cordless PC, 4 PC 690 kits, 4 PC 890, 2 PC (8529?) 1 PC (7929?)

I would be excited just to get to 60 bits...
Which routers do you guys like the best?
(Notice the plural there, you can mention more than one!)

With 60 routers its obvious the shop shown on PBS is for TV only. How about showing us some photos of the real router workshop.
