Ok, second post in one day. Must be getting sick or something.
In looking for a new router, and have somewhat come down to Bosch 1617 set vs Dewalt 618b3 (3 base) kit. I have the grizzly 1023 with router wing. Anyone with the Bosch that can weigh in on bit changes from above table and dust collection attachments would be appreciated. And for the Dewalt, anyone that can comment on bit changes above table(it doesn't seem like I would be able to get to spindle lock easily so need 2 wrenches), height adjustment in table, and dust collection on plunge base.
Also, the third d handle is a nice addition, but is it really a huge asset?
I've been to the local stores, which are only sear's, lowes, and hd. Nothing else in my area! So I have had my hands on them and I think I like the Dewalt a little bettter for the plunge base and lever for release vs the Bosch. But I really like the adjustment on the Bosh and the idea of the dust collection attachments (if they work well). So any advice is helpful. I drive myself nuts researching these types of purchases and any info to help me would be great. My wife appreciates it too! I tend to drive her nuts with my decision making.
