: I did quite a bit of research on this last year and probably the best you can
: get is the mid-size Porter Cable (don't know model number but it's about
: $200 +/- with a dual set of handles and carrying case). DeWalt also has a
: very good router in this size category. For most of us doing
: non-commercial work, the larger 3+ h.p. routers have a large price and
: weight penalty.

: I actually wound up purchasing a variable speed, Bosch 2 1/2 H.P. last year
: and have been totally happy with it as well.
Hi Lee; We have in our group several routers-Porter Cable, Craftsman,
DeWalt(621)and also the 3+ hp plunge. The 3+plunge is set up in a router table most times. We really like the soft start in the DeWalts. All of the above are good tools and would serve your needs well. Hope this will help. Russ
