    Question What router would you buy?

    I am going to purchase a new router for my cnc router or to use by hand. I currently have my Porter Cable router running on my CNC machine and need another to do the hand work in the shop. I was wondering what you guys thought would be the best way to go. I am thinking of buying a Rotozip for the CNC machine and using my PC for the shop. I was worried about the power of the Rotozip as well a how durable it will be. Any suggestions would be appriciated.

    You might want to look at the Dremel Advantage. Works real good. 10,000 - 35,000 RPM. You can also get a 1/4" collet.

    Not sure which PC router you have, but if it works on your CNC, I'd leave it. I just bought a factory reconditioned Bosch 1617EVS variable speed 2.25 hp for $119. I really like it. Seems like a real good price. Went to Toolking through eBay. Look at the bottom of the page.
