Through the woodworkingchannel.com I've been fortunate enough to view a program a day from you guys. I must say that its been helpful to helping me get more out of my router and router table.
I have a table mounted Porter Cable 890 using a fixed base, but now I'm contemplating pulling the springs out of the plunge router base and going "father and son" style and have a couple of questions.
When you do the hand held operations with your plunge hitachi routers on the show, are you still using a base without springs?
Also, has anyone here removed the springs from the 890 plunge base? Any concerns and/or tips.
I've found it hard to swallow the cost of the woodpeckers PRL lift, but if I got a lift I'd go that way. The more I see you guys set bit height first and then dropping the router back into the table the more I am thinking of skipping the lift.
