It's like the magic of Christmas. You're down in the shop miscutting some wood, you go upstairs for a coffee break and all of a sudden you see a big box in front of the door!



Thanks to Wayne (Canuck) for helping me decide what to get. This concludes our regular scheduled router upgrades, back to the show.

Nice set Bas. I have the same set and I really like it. I have it mounted in a table but the motor quickly releases for hand held jobs. You will enjoy it for sure.

Just think Bas, all you need now is 10 more routers and you'll be ready to start doing some real work!

Nice score buddy!

Nice score



But how many routers is enough and how many routers is too many?

Re: All three base are belong to us....

Nice choice Bas - every wood worker needs at least two routers. Changing bits is a PITA.

I'm old school - YOU SUCK

My o' my. That was sure a quick decision, Bas!!!!

I am sure that you are really gonna like that combo. Hook up that D-handle base and run some lumber. I am sure you will be amazed as to how much control you now have.

Congrats and oh ya..... YOU ROCK!!!!

Hey Bas,
I think that someone is waiting for you in the parking lot of the Clayton Lowes for your last router.

Well, I was without a hand held router, so the need was urgent I'm loving this set already, the only dilemma I have is whether to keep everything in the big plastic box or spread it all around the shop. Decisions, decisions...

Believe it or not, but I still only have two routers! Sold the old set last week. Of course, NO self-respecting woodworker only has two routers....I may need to go get another one, just for show....
