Been a long time since I posted here but have followed somewhat over the last couple of years. I am now in need of a new router since the last of my Bosch 16o4's has died.
I plan to order a 1617 and a Colt tomorrow 1/2/18 fom CPO unless you all talk me into something else.
will be used both hand held and in a table.
Is there a much better alternative for the price? I will at some point buy another for a dedicated table router. The Colt is is in anticipation of the demise of my well loved Ryobi Tr3o.

Thanks

I ordered the 1617evs and a Colt from CPO. sadly they had dropped the reconditioned 1617 when i ordered[it is back up now]. I did not order the plunge base and will open another thread on that and the table suggestions.
I am under the impression that the colt is among the smaller of the palm router alternatives, if not i will get another.
