Never had one of my own, bought new, Only a hand me down Dewalt from my step dad, but the motor/brushes are shot

Sooooo , just wondering what others are using.. Im guessing they are all around the same RPM, and that they all fit the same bits etc, but I seem to see alot more accessories/bits for Bosch Routers. SO as of nopw thats a top pick, but I also think the new Porter Cables look nice too.. What do you guys think?

Makita combo pack with fixed and plunge bases works good for me and I use it daily. Best money I ever spent on a tool I think.

I'd go either Porter or Makita for a router, but Porter being my first choice.

I use a bosch and it's great. I have the fixed base mounted to the router table and the plunge for non straight cuts. I can't say enough good about it. The ONLY problem is, I had to get special bolts so it would work with my jasper jig. Other than that.... perfect.

Jasper jigs don't line up with Bosch routers quite the same as they do to every other router... I made it work though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
