Hi ncparolelady

I'm sure you must have a router by now but if not you may want to take a hard look at the trim router below, it's at the right price and it's a good one to start out with

1/4" Trim Router at 25.oo dollars

=========

I'm totally inexperienced with routers and looking to start out small...with a trim router for carving lettered signs. I'm sure there are much better brand names, but I'm looking to start cheap until I know that (#1) I have the talent for this (#2) it's something I'll stick with. So, anyone have comments, reviews, advice related to the Ryobi TR45 Trim Router? I found it at one of the "big box hardware stores" for $79.99. Thanks in advance for any thoughts (good or bad, I'm a big girl)!

Hi Joz Z

I one I got came with a plunge router fixture .. not the best but I did rework just a little bit and now it works great for that plunge router jobs..
Plus I do use the HF router speed control on it.. it's not soft start but that's OK.
And I do use it from time to time in the router table ...
And like you I like it

Hi Bob

They do make one for it, but it's hard one to find
see below

It's best to pickup a plate and just drill it out for the router.

I have recently aquired a TR 45. Does any one know of a Bushing adapter for it?
