    My First Gloat

    My new PC 8529 just arrived along with a Rockler table.

    Still siting in the boxes. To be opened while watching college football.


    Life is good.

    Congrats Mike, I have the same router it's a great machine. But after you get it out of the box you better take some pics. Or the pic police are going to get ya.

    I got my 8529 about 2 years ago when Lowe's was discontinuing them. Great price-Better router! I really like the soft start, and it has good power for a hand held router. (I have a 7518 that will go in my router table.) Dust collection so far stinks, but I haven't been real serious about hooking it up with the right size hoses, so it may get better.
    Now, get you some good bits, if you don't already have some, and let the dust fly! Jim.
