Hi Guys,
Still a newbee, but trying. :)
I just bought me the below mentioned router. It has no variable speed, but seems to be everything that I need. I needed the 1/2 inch collet capability and chose this one.
"Craftsman 9.5 Amp 1-3/4 HP Plunge Base Router with Soft Start and LED Worklights"
I spent several days checking out features and prices. I probably got what I paid for, but with the extended warranty, I should get some use out of it. It has a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 inch dust collection attachment included. I'll only need to connect a hose to my DS.
The big question: "Does anybody know if this is any good?". Now that I bought it, I'm asking if I didn't buy the wrong one. It's strictly for hobby use but will be used quite a bit. I have an AC speed controller - from HB which will work to slow down the RPM from 25K.
Thanks for any information or opinions you guys might have or be willing to share.
