Got the router delivered today, made template for the little hinges I'm using and blasted thru 10 or so setups in no time. It is a very nice tool, with better balance than I thought it would have with the battery on top, and of course not having a silly cord is a real treat. Came with the plunge base, and a guide for the fixed base and one for the plunge base. It was delivered in a huge case - maybe 14" square with a fabric tote inside the plastic case, both of which are already in storage in the basement. Only drawback was the price, which was about one and half times more than a box of my favorite cigars, but as Jim says: the most expensive tool is the one buy cheaply, and often.
Appreciate all the info from you folks. Now where is my Johnny Cash album..........
