My dear Brother There is no such thing as overkill for a hobbiest.LOL that’s what I tell Bronwen anyway.Alistair

That’s what I keep telling LOML too, but for some reason she doesn’t buy it!

I have had the same routers in my two Jessem Master Lifts, they make life easy!

Check out router raizer before you go down the path of a 7518 and a lift.

I have the 7518 in the Mast-R-Lift. Love it. Not sure what I can add to what you’ve already read. We went to my brother-in-law, who’s a commercial woodworker, for advice and he said “short of buying a shaper…” (my shop is too small for that), ”...if money is no object get this combo”.

It’s a shame you live on the other side of the US. I know a guy here in Sacramento who is selling his almost new Jessem master lift with stand, PC 7518, miter gauge, & accessories for $400

The PC 7518 is a great router and will serve you well. It is worth the investment. The extra power is also important from a safety point.
