present day mostly plastic 1hp B&D routers in the stores, it makes me
want to gag.

I made the mistake of loaning it to my bother about five years ago. To
get it back, I went out and bought him one of the newer plastic junk
routers and traded it to him for the old one. Damned if that's the
last time I loan it to*anyone*.

40 years +/-, and still going strong.
