Well now that I know the guy was a fellow woodworker I feel really bad
about our affair.

I'm a woodworker whose techniques rely on the router table, but as a
retiree
on a strict budget, $2-300 for a raiser seemed out of my price range.

This past weekend,www.woodcraft.comsent me an e-mail advertising the
Freud
FT1700 variable speed 2-1/4HP router for $99 -- while supplies last. *It
didn't take much research to realize what a find that was. *The router has
a
built-in mechanism for above-table height adjustment that, at least on two
tries, works flawlessly and easily. *It comes with a single wrench -- and
a
shaft lock -- and a fixed base and that's about it. *Just basic stuff, but
I've permanently removed my PC from the table to plunge use and intend to
permanently keep the Freud in the table -- I've even removed the handles
to
make a little more room underneath.

I'm smiling from ear to ear after using it and I'm in love. *(I have
absolutely no connection whatsoever with the vendor, just a really happy
customer).

I was lucky enough to find a brand new one on Craigslist. The guy bought it
new with expectations to use but he discovered the wife cheating on him,
filed for divorce and sold much of his toys. Yes, I had to hear the ENTIRE
wife story when I picked it up but for $75 , it was worth it.- Hide quoted text -
