Great to hear you made the jig and the box!

My jigs are all made of scrap, and as I said before, the more you use the router and the more jigs you make from scratch, the more you will feel comfortable with all your tools and how to adjust them, etc. Practise, practise, practise!

I never did answer your previous question. I have a Hitachi M12V and I love it. It spends most of its time hanging upside down in my homemade router table (made from scraps, too). When I need to route by hand, I just pop it out of the table (like Bob does on the show) and in most cases I leave the oak-park big black base on it and away I go.

Let us know how you enjoy your new router.
