Re: Cheap Routers are Expensive

Woops, hit something that made it send...

Anyway, I also have a PC trim router that I don't like the depth adjustment
on cause you have to loosen the base on to use and it seems kind of tippy.
Looking for a better idea.

On bits: Can't say I've ever worn one out but I've had crappy ones like
from Rockler and Whiteside. Now I only buy Amana if at all possilbe, they
cost more but are worth it in me experience.
