Yes, those low prices on Skil, Black & Decker, Craftsman etc, are sooo
tempting, but use them once and you'll discover why you should've just

As an OLD and experienced woodworker I have to agree .

I currently have seven routers in my shop 2 for hand held use and 5
mounted in tables (regular horizontal, and overhead) BUT most are the
very inexpensive DeWalt 610's .. the hand helds are Bosch & Porter
Cable .... the 610's are about the least expensive light duty router
I would even glance at...all of mine have worked just fine (for what I
use them for) ...

Not Ragging on "Skil"...but I think you now understand cheap tools
