    building a table is very easy. do you have a table saw at all? I  have pics of my router table build in the workshop section.

     

    the bosch routers are $20 off right now so it is a good time to get one. check your local home depot for a Ryobi router table in the clearance section. there are a couple at mine that have been clearance for months.

     

    I actually bought the dewalt 2.25 combo today from HD using a harbor freight 20% coupon. plus the menards rebate match ftw!

    My HD does not take HF coupons....

    and the clearance items are few and far in between ..... but I will check ...

    thanks

    Great info guys !! I really appreciate all the help. I thought about what I am going to do most, and figured it would almost always stay in a table. I'm gonna go full size with the BOSCH 1617 and prob put it in a small Bosch table.

    *Part 2* any table ideas ? (building my own is not an option)

    Smaller not freestanding. Thinking of Bosch 1171 ..... The Kreg looks nice.....??

     

     

    Also gonna hit up some pawn shops and look between the old generators and pressure washers and see if I get lucky. My pawn shop options are not all that.

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

    True .... I was thinking of how I was going to use it most of the time, cordless is prob not the best way to go ..... leaning now towards the Bosch 1617...

    i know I'm all over the place, I guess I'm over thinking .....

    Will a compact router fit into a router table?

    Any of the compact routers will suit you fine. I have the Makita personally.

    What up Crew ?!

    Really only had time to quick read the forums lately, Been busy at work with a hurricane schedule.

    the time has come for me to get a router.

    i have decided that a compact would be best for my needs. Now ..........

    do I go cordless ??? 

    Not against it, but Really didn't  want to start another battery platform. If I am starting another it should have a wide range of other tools....

    with that said, Leaning to the rigid.

    Ultimate question is ......cordless rigid or dewalt corded ???

    And I will be putting this into a small bench top router table, prob Bosch 1171.

    I'm sure if I go corded, I won't be disappointed, probably be a Dewalt.

     

    **UPDATE**

    i am changing it up a little .... now leaning towards the Bosch 1617 .....

    still need your  opinions ..... suggestions 

     

    thanks guys !!!!
