Hey guys,
I have the Festool OF 1400 EQ as my main router. I am about to finish my table saw/routing center and would like some recommendations as to which router I should use in new router table. My other router is a PC 690 (I think that is the model #).
The Festool has the ratcheting collet and superior dust collection, height adjustment, more power, etc... It seems like a no brainer, yet I have reservations. Anyone here with a Festool in a table? I do mostly freehand routing so there would be some back and forth in and out of the table.
Any tips or recommendations? Also, I may eventually buy a better dedicated router for table mounting. Any suggestions? I am partial to Festool, but $$$.$$
Thanx,
shotgunn
