Did your pin come out ? The two jaspers I have, the d@mn pin is so tight it requires channel locks to pull it out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yeah, it falls right through the durn holes.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

What bits would you guys recommend to get along with the router? Just for cutting sub holes and rounding edges.

round-over bits for sure and a flush bit. 1/4" straight bit for makin' holes.

there are different sizes of 1/4 round bits.

also check out ryobi, i swear by the name, i use their circular saw, jig saw, and pretty much thier whole line. Heres a pic and a description of the best one they have can be gotten at homedepot for 99 bucks ! not a bad deal at all!

• Electronic speed control module senses the load applied to the motor and adjusts voltage to maintain desired rpm• Ergonomically-designed handles provide comfort when operating from different angles and positions• Soft start reduces wear and provides smoother use• Chip shield protects you against flying debris• Spindle lock for simple 1-wrench bit changes• Includes 1/2 In. collet, 1/4 In. adapter and wrench

This is what I use.

VERY good router, especially for the money.

I've been looking around a lot, too, now I just have to decide between the skil package or the ryobi.

Edit: Also, can somebody explain exactly what run-out is? The article didn't make it very clear.
