[QUOTE="mlstrass, post: 3460715, member: 569126"] I use a Skil router #1820 that was around $70 at HD. I couldn't imagine building without one. From rounding over the port opening, end of port wall, to outer edges of the box, it's just VERY nice to have. Add in a circle jig and sub cut outs are much easier. I always make the top piece 1/8" bigger all around and use a flush trim bit to square it up. Comes out perfect every time that way, even when dealing with warped MDF. Which I've been getting a lot of lately. I still use a bead of caulk around the inside just for peace of mind. Titebond II or Elmer's Pro Bond, whichever is on sale at the time. Trupan is the best wood I've used by far, then BB, and lastly MDF. All work just fine, but the first 2 are MUCH nicer to work with and far less dust. [/QUOTE]
