I have one ... so rarely used that it might be for sale. ;)

I bought it when I moved to my new location a couple of years ago, had no
electricity for the first few months, and didn't want to go without a router
for stuff I couldn't do easily by hand.

Have barely used it since the contractor's pole was put in and I could
finally wire the shop. IMO, it is simply NOT that _great_ of an idea in
practice, although it served its purpose and does a good job.

I used it quite a bit with a Leigh Dovetail jig and just left it set up for
that most of the time. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about
it.

I'm making a serious effort this year to go cordless wherever
possible, and I'm looking at the Porter Cable cordless series (DeWalt
may be at every discount place but they burned me once and I won't buy
them again...). Has anyone used the 9290 router? That's one of the
more intriguing items for me since I need to replace an ancient router
that's gotten to be too hard to deal with. Also looking at the 9845
circular saw, and the BN200V12 brad nailer.

Any suggestions as to alternatives would be accepted, and especially
opinions from anyone who's used the PC line.

Thanks,

Jeff
