Router for new table

I have the 2.25 hp Freud in my router table and find the above the table top adjustment and bit change out to work fine. Maybe one day I’ll get a lift, but it is low in my list of wants.

Check this one out,Triton, I think it’s the best.

Here is a fellow LJ’s review of the Porter Cable.

I really like my bosch 1617 kit with plunge base and fixed base, which stays under the table. The way the fixed base is designed, you can adjust the bit hight from above the table. I have also heard really good things about the triton, and of course Porter Cable is the classic but read the reviews because even some of the new PC’s have some problems. I have heard some not so great things about the Freud.

Get an issue of “Tools and Shops,” the annual magazine which posts all of the reviews. All current models are compared side by side with tons of great information.
