New to this forum but not new to woodworking. New to router work though. Am a little hesitant on learning how to use the thing, but am looking forward to it though. I bought a used Craftsman 1-1/2 hp model 315.17431 today for about $50. It looks like a nice starter router, dust bag included but no manual. Planning on building a router table because of the projects I have in mind to use the tool. If you have any tips for a beginner, please let me know. I tried once before to use a router but couldn't get the hang of it, so returned it. That was about 8 years ago. Anyway, glad I found this site and look forward to sharing stories and asking for help.:jester:
