I picked up a Leigh D4R off CL this weekend for $200 (stealth gloat ). Last night I was setting it up to practice a few dovetails and knocked my DW721 router off the bench onto the floor (IDIOT). A quick inspection revealed only a cracked phenolic bottom plate so I exhaled. As I continued the set up, however, I noticed the router was “wobbling”. A closer look revealed a cracked lower housing (IDIOT). A quick internet search showed about $100 for replacement parts alone equaling my original CL cost for the router. A year or so ago I bought a Jessem Rout-R-Lift FX when they were closing out the offshore units, bought a Bosch 1617, and made a TS extension router table. Since I already had a plunge router, I skipped the EVSPK package with the plunge base and only bought the motor (IDIOT). I’ll search the forums for router reviews, but my initial thought is to get another 1617 since it gets good reviews and I’m happy with the unit. However, this time I’ll get the EVSPK. I’ll have a fixed base for the dovetail jig, a plunge base, and a back-up for my table mounted unit. Good thing my birthday and Father’s Day are only a couple of days apart! I’m open to suggestions and/or confirmation that I’m an IDIOT.
