Default Plunge v Fixed Base Router

I learned a long time ago that you get what you pay for. And what you
say about the drill and recip saw: absolutely. Wow, a circular saw was
your first power tool - damn, it was like my 3rd.

Wow, I got more hits than misses. I'm in the market for a router and my
uncle (pro woodworker) recommended the Porter-Cable with the dual
fixed/plunge bases.

Belt Sander: Skil -- piece of crap
Drill: DeWalt -- love it, but I bought the really nice one
Recip. Saw: Milwaukee -- love it; i can saw through a Buick with it
Circular Saw: Skil -- the first power tool I ever bought
Band Saw: Craftsman -- not very good, but works well enough for most of my
projects
