Its been a little while, but I think it was Rockler. These have a dark green painted body, that might tell you what brand they were.

I do think B&C works ok, but prefer the other. One thing I didn't like was trying to protect the fragile Cove edge and repairing any strips with broken edges - I missed some of the breaks and had them glued up before I saw them.

: I don’t think it’s worth the hassle but if you must have B&C
: then you only need the bigger ½" router for heavy cuts
: like finger joint bits, B&C cuts on WRC or other softwood is no
: strain at all for a 1/4" router but you may have problems
: getting B&C bits for it, they mostly come with ½" shafts .
: . . I wonder where Marc found his?
