What is everybody using? Years ago I made a LOT of hand routed signs, name signs, etc. I had a nice compact Skill half horse that I put a clear base on. Made some small handles to fit the base. It was a great little router. Going to be doing some traveling this winter and want to start making hand made signs again. Thinking about the PC450. Weighs only 4.1 lbs. Any thoughts? Thanks | ||

I use the Dewalt 611 w/ the plunge base. I also use a PC 100 Heritage. I have been looking at the Makita 3606, too. Anything small to mid-size I think will work. Main thing is to find something that is comfortable for you to use. I think the PC 450 is the same as the Dewalt 611? If it feels comfortable...use it Good luck, Keith | |||

I was leaning towards the PC 450 but for 20 bucks more to have the LEDs and variable speed on the Dewalt might be worth it. Best price so far on both was Amazon. Don't know how they do it. Free shipping too. | ||
