I was catching up with the magazine reading today, and there was an article in the July WOOD magazine. they ran a comparison test of 6 cordless routers and 9 corded ones, trim routers.
The Porter Cable left every other one in the dust. The Bosch came in tied for last, in the corded tests. The Milwaukee came in 1st and Bosch came in Last in the cordless.
The things I took away from this article are:
1.All the corded routers are made in China except the Bosch and it is made in Hungary,and the Dewalt is made in Mexico
2. All the cordless are made in China, except Bosch is made in Malaysia.
3.All the cordless routers are sold bare, Batteries and charger not included. Extra +$230 for the batteries and charger.
3. All the battery routers run on a small battery or large battery.
The cordless routers run $130-$200.
4. The cordless tested were ,Milwaukee, DeWalt, Ryobi, Makita, Ridgid, Bosch. In that order.
5. The Corded were , Porter Cable, Ridgid, DeWalt, , Makita, Grizzly H7790, Grizzly 7791, Drill Master 62659, Bosch Colt PR20EVS, MLCS Rocky. In that order.
7. Bosch and MLCS were tied for last.
8. The corded routers run from $35-$130.
