Is there anything I need to look for in terms of wear.

How can I identify a worn collet? Or other broken crap.

many uses but the router tips are pricey as fuck.

I'm also wondering if he had to remove anything off the base to mount it

to the little table that comes with it?

I got a stupid question, can use the 1/4" straight bit from the 1/2" bit set

with the Jasper jig I purchased?

And I picked up this 6.0A 14gal rigid shop vac for $40

sweet deal on the router man. as for the jasperjig, i don't know how you could use it on the routing table w/o removing the router off the table to freehand it. you might but it may be a little complicated.

those rigid wet/dry vacs are loud *** mothers man. well mine is. i actually hate having to use it when i vacuum my car or such and just go out to pay the 50 cents to vac my car out.

either all sweet deal. now what you could do is learn how to make MDF rings and sell them on here for peeps. you'll make your monies quick man and pay off that set in no time.

Yep, I definitely need to unmount the router from table to use the jasper jig.

The MDF ring idea is a really good one; I'm going to try that out.

The rigid, says it's a quiet model and the dude (seller) said it was really

quiet, I'm going to have to turn it on and find out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
