Good morning to you and welcome. The 3612 was a powerful and well made router but has been discontinued so parts availability could be or become an issue. You may want to use that info to bargain for a good price.

Good Morning,
I have been woodworking for 5 years, two years ago I converted and organized my one stall garage into a wood shop and it has transformed the hobby into a passion. I enjoy building fine wood working items but the commission work pulls me into carpentry. I started chainsaw milling about a year ago so that's been cool :smile:, slab are still drying.
My research on what router to get to flatten slabs has lead me to this forum. Makita 3612C at a local pawn shop has my name on it!

Hi , and welcome to our little corner of the 'net.
Hi and welcome. What part of Michigan?
Hello and welcome to the router forum.
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum 
Welcome to router forums. I bought an Alaskan attachment for my chainsaw, although I've not used it yet due to not fining any logs to saw. I live in troy Michigan and have done woodworking for more than 50 years. I am always trying to challenge myself with new projects to further my knowledge. I can tell you that this forum is one of the best forums I have found, and I read it every day. Where in Michigan are you?... and do you have a name?
Gee Gary,
I'm probably 10-15 miles from you!

Glad you could join the fun. It is nice to love doing something so much, isn't it.
Thanks for the heads up! Yes it was a price I could not turn down, especially since my FIL went in half... $35 a piece for the Makita beast! It will live its life flattening slabs.:smile:Good morning to you and welcome.
