I love my router

[aquaholic14]

I just bought a porter cable router. Made a circle jig out of a straight edge and a 1/4 inch piece of luan, and cut my sides of a benroy out perfectly without having to sand. So much better than a jig saw and a belt sander. About a half an hour mesuring and 10 minuted cutting. I love this thing.

Sorry just had to share my a little

thanks,
chad

p.s. This is my first try at a router. If I can do it, anybody can.

Here's a link to a router forum, based on the router workshop TV show...

Alot of wood workers use their routers almost as much or more than their saws. There is a huge amount of info out there on routers and their uses.

The best thing about routers is the massive versatility. Jigsaws basically do one thing. Circ saws do one thing. Routers can do lots and lots and lots of things. I have 3 routers and want a few more.

Oh, and PC is definitely the best router IMHO... I need a PC fixed base for my next gizmo...

I bought a separate fixed base and mounted it to my router table, so all I have to do is remove the router from that base, and re-connect it to either a plunge or fixed based for hand use. Pretty handy!
