Nah we have actually not reviewed or used a FEIN OMT ....
Slackers! Okay, just hoping you had. Thanks, buddy!

So I finally got around to watching the vid... you kinda have a serial killer vibe going on at the very beginning.
Just kidding.
Have you compared the corded Bosch to a recent Fein? Sounds like the Bosch may have more power....

I'm not going to be any help to you, but that looks like a dang fine unit. Congrats! I've been drooling over them for a while, but unless Uncle Powerball comes through for me, I won't pull the trigger...

Nice! Good relatives are a blessing.

Once you put a 5amp battery on a trim router its as heavy as a mid sized router with half the power, so I'm not a fan of the current cordless trim routers.
Not sure why Jronman says the Makita has less vibration than the Ridgid. I have the Ridgid and it has no real noticeable vibration to me.
The Makita and Dewalt definitely have more power than the Ridgid. I also hate the height adjustment on the Makita. The Ridgid has a very nice height adjustment.
If you want it for more than laminate work I would go with the Dewalt or Porter Cable as they are pretty much identical, so I would let price determine between the two.
I would not put a trim router in a table, I would go mid sized and up for that application. Just my opinion...
Good info here...

If it is going to be in a router table I don't see a need for it to be cordless.

Totally what I was thinking as well. I'd definitely look at the Makita if I wasn't an anal-retentive German Virgo and lover of most things German. So it's probably going to be Bosch for me when I pull the trigger.
I don't remember which model of the big Bosch it is, but one of them has the power switch in the handle so it becomes somewhat problematic when used in a router table (second hand - and therefor possibly inaccurate - info gleaned from geeking out on YouTube router videos... possibly from Jay's Custom Creations channel? Just something to look into...)

I went last year. Some cool stuff. Awesome and I mean awesome German lunch, Some free beer, a few new items, and mostly a tour and meet and greet. It was only a 2.5 hour drive for me so worth it.
Mmm, beer... free beer...

Love to get the new Milwaukee heavy duty fuel impact wrench ...1400 lbs !
I just bought the mid-torque. We'll see if I need the big gun, as well. I kinda doubt it. The high torque would probably just pick my Jeep up and flip it over. LOL
-
I'm afraid to watch any more of your reviews. It's just going to make me want to go buy more stuff.
Just kidding. already know I want to Fein corded OMT.
Love your vids, man...

Back to the OP....
one thing that that keeps me from getting a Kapex is that here, the cost is something like 225% of the Bosch. But the cost difference there is apparently much less. If you can swing it, that’s the way I’d go.
Once i I get all the detritus from moving out of my garage/shop, I will be looking at the Bosch, though. I fairly frequently get e-mails from a local shop that will run them for around $550 vs. $1475 for the Festool....

I use a combo of diamond stones and sandpaper with a veritas honing guide.

Thanks. The Veritas guide was one I’m interested in.

Right now I use Japanese stones and have a Worksharp station. Watch videos dude. Many guys have phenomenal videos in how to sharpen and set up as well as adjust the planes. I’ve learned EVERYTHING about hand planes on YouTube.
Yeah, I have been. That’s why I’m overwhelmed. LOL
-
Bit of a left turn, but since you brought up planes, what do you use to sharpen them? I’m a little overwhelmed, with different guides, whetstones, diamond hones....
-
Not that I can justify going, but I would be torn about going... I like new tools, but HATE crowds...

well I put my FUEL grinder to the test last few days cutting out for new windows, with a 9.0ah battery on it I didn't even think about battery power or lack of with a battery. standing on top of scaffolding 4 sections high cutting 3/4" cement with a diamond blade. I don't have any brushed Milwaukee tools all of mine are Fuel and I do strongly believe they are worth every extra penny......I may not be using my tools for making a living like some do but my time is worth something to me and having tools that work is too
Do you notice any additional power with the 9.0 battery?

Debating between this and the mid torque. Don't have room in the garage for an air compressor and my cars are getting to that age where suspension work is required.
I just bought the mid-torque yesterday. We’ll see if I stumble across anything it won’t move. I may be getting the big fella down the road...

Bummer, sad to hear about your issues with it. I was thinking that would be a pretty cool toy to get, but maybe I’ll just stick with pneumatic.

I’m sorry you took it that way, I was trying to poke some lighthearted fun at those who live in big cities back east that think everybody west of Chicago are a bunch of inbred hicks without indoor plumbing. I certainly meant no disrespect towards native people.

You wouldn’t happen to have access to an M18 Brushless to hang a comparison pic, would you?

Oh man, this sucks. Stuff like this makes me think Islamic countries might have a decent idea... off with their thieving hands.
Sorry to hear you’re thinking about going to the dark (yellow) side....

I did not realize that SawStop was headquartered here locally in ToiletTown (Tualitin, Orygun).

Cute little guy!
My kid just absolutely LOVES the Build and Grow kits from Lowes. So much so that if I give him the option of HD or Lowes, Team Blue wins every time.
