In Response To: router recommedations (Lee Gardner)

I have a Bosch 1613: works o.k.
I used a cheap Craftsman to mill beads and coves on one boat. Worked fine.
My FAVORITE so far is the Porter Cable 7529. The way the plunge mechanics are set up seems to work better for me than the Bosch. I like PC because there seems to be quite a few extras I can use in my woodworking business that fit right onto the PC without adaptors.

For milling beads and coves, any of these would work fine.

: I never professed to be a craftsman but the time has come to get a router,
: any recomendations for those who only have one?
