The best router means different things to different people. For value it is hard to beat the $110 Craftsman combo kit. Bosch is top rated in most comparison testing, both the 2-1/4 HP 1617 and the 3-1/4 HP 1619 are excellent choices. Features differ between brands, more in the way the controls work than anything else. Find a router that is comfortable in your hands and you will be happy.

Hey Craftsman Sears brand tools are are ok, but for just $199.00 you can get a multible speed dual set plunge , or stable (monting to table also) vacuum atatchment, colletts either 1/4" or 1/2", and comes with a LIFE TIME PARTS AND SERVICE WARANTY! Look at the RIGID BRAND ROUTER, its sold at Home depot for just $199.00 and comes with the stuff you need!

Actually, I bought a RONA dual kit (plunge and fixed) 1/2" collet, variable speed, soft start for $99 the other night. Now, I can really make firewood and sawdust!!
