I bought a Makita compact router set that came with a fixed and plunge base. (RT0701CX )
My plan was to sell the fixed base & the motor and keep the plunge base.
The plunge base fits my cordless compact Makita - so - my plan was to keep the plunge base and sell the fixed base along with the corded router.
A year ago when I bought it,buying the combo and selling the corded fixed base cost me about $10 less than just buying the plunge base.
The price of the combo set is about $25 more than it was back then - but - the price of the fixed bast router is the same.
I also have a corded DeWalt 611PK combo - which makes having another corded compact combo redundant.
I'm thinking that:
- I can sell the Makita corded fixed base router - keeping the plunge base and make a few bucks.
- I can keep the Makitas - all of them -and sell the DeWalt.
- I can keep all of them - just because - having a bunch of routers is always a good thing.
Money isn't an issue - but - having stuff I'm not using a lot laying around is an issue.
(We plan to move later this year & we are thinning out the crap we have to move)
