I got a screaming deal on the 1.75 hp Milwaukee on Amazon a few weeks
back. $129 for the plunge and fixed base kit. I've only had occasion
to use it in the plunge base once, but it had plenty of power. The
plunge operation was very smooth, but I'm still noodling over the depth
adjustment. Senility setting in. My other router is a PC690 which has
now found a permanent home under the router table.

Incidentally, Woodcraft had a special on a Freud combo set, also 1.75
hp, earlier this spring. I got it and sent it back. Much less than I
expected out of Freud.

My present router just died. Looking to upgrade with possible combo
fixed/plunge set. Looking at the Milwaukee 5616-24 . Has good reviews.
Can pick up for $239. Any comments? TIA
