DeWalt Makita Porter Cable Bosch Craftsman..... I Need A Router!

Tom R

I have at least 7 or 8 routers (I'd have to count them), - - and I don't use the PC black templates you're speaking of, - - but if I did (and if I was short on routers), - - I would keep the router at the deeper setting of the two, - - and I would make a custom spacer-plate to allow for the difference in depth so as to save having to make any 'same' adjustment so often.

Anyway, - - I personally prefer the Bosch's for my 'under-table' routers, - - and the PC's for the routers that I operate by hand. PC's seem to be by far the most balanced and comfortable to hold, - - it's just the switch locations aren't always in the most convenient place.

I use Dewalt and Porter Cable in my wood shop. Again it depends on how much you plan to use it and how much you want to spend. Whatever you decide on I would definitely get one with the duel bases.
