Newbie- DIY CNC.... where do I start.

You'll see a lot of people on the zone that use the Hitachi. Makita > Porter Cable > Hitachi > Bosch, that's how my research came out. And really you couldn't go wrong with any of those. The Hitachi generally is the best deal under 200. You can find them new between 100 to 125. I was lucky and got the Hitachi new from Amazon for 80 something when they were running a special.

Another good router it Trend T4. It's like a laminate router on steroids. All the online reviews are very positive. I came real close to ordering one for $75 but the day I was going to order I saw the Hitachi on Amazon. 1.1hp vs 2.25hp was a no brainer.
