I recently discovered an unused router that belonged to my late Dad. A Hitachi zx2008. It is at least 25 years old still in its box. looking to see if anyone has used 1. Want to see if I can mount it under a diy router table but there is no removable base insert. Thanks in advance.
greetings

Hi Rick! You back? Missed you.Welcome to the forum
Hi skilachi, glad you jointed the fun. This is a good place to learn, it helps us reply if you give a list of the tools you have, updated as you add more. There are so many ways to accomplish almost everything in woodworking, so we may look at your list to suggest alternative ways to do what you want.
I've attached a pdf of the 18 or so things that helped me get going. It covers a lot of ground and tools that you may or may not ever want or need. I also hope it saves you from spending money on stuff that isn't useful. It's pretty long, but has pictures.
It took me about 15 of my highest income years to buy all my stuff, so don't think you have to do all of this at once. The key, to me, is the very best table saw you can afford. Forget the miter saw, it's not really that useful. Do ask a lot of questions, we all love to give back all the help we got along the way.
