I received a Woodcraft gift certificate for X-Mas and am I lost!!! I have a benchtop drill press to replace and a new router table to build. Steel City drill press is on sale with free shipping today. Pretty straight forward so far.
My new router table is tops on the list for this year's first project. I already have the Incra 25' Ultra fence and look forward to doing boxes and many other projects. I require precision in my work( it's the OCD curse), and have been thinking about my table router setup for a while. I have searched and read for days now and am more confused than ever. I currently own the Dewalt 618 and Bosch 1617 routers.
The new Pinnacle lift looks awesome, http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=21012 ,and would fit within my gift certificate budget but that would leave me with what many consider to be underpowered router for a table. Or should I look at a bigger router with some ease and accuracy and no lift?
Or do i just get the new drill press and wait for the new router table? OMG I have a huge headache and it isn't even because I had too much to drink at the New Years Eve party. Shoot, I don't even drink and I have a huge headache........
Sorry for the rant, can someone make up my mind?:o
