Yeah, another Bosch 1617 fan. I have an older model kit with both the fixed and plunge base an a couple of accessories. Most of the time I run it in my router table but it's an easy set up for plunge routing. For the table, i also bought the Bosch but I wouldn't recommend it. There are better ones out there if you need one.
Best router for a DYI Woodworker
Hey all. Looking for a new router for a wood worker just barely past a DYI guy. I had a "commercial grade" Craftsman, but it literally blew up in my face... sparks flying and all. and there is no replacement parts for it (just barely 10 years old). I bought it at Sears (remember that store?).
So, I'm looking for a new version that will have the parts available for a while. If it lasts 10 years, thats great (they wont let me have a router in the Home I'm guessing). Would like to have a 1/2" with 2 or 3 bases (including a single hand, plunge and two handed bases) and collets for 1/8 and 1/2" shanks.
This "band of router bros" is the perfect folks to ask. What would you recommend for a reasonably priced router "kit"?
Not sure if Santa will bring it or i will just buy it now.
