Milwaukee Model 5615-20 (shown) costs from $150 to $160 for free hand. For
table I'd have to say the Triton TR-TRA001 $379.01 everybody does

When I first got the idea to buy a router, I spent $99 bucks on a Craftsman
with a plunge and fixed base. Still use it today the only real mistake with
it was the 1/4 inch. I'd shop for atleast 1/2 inch.... Consider quality
based on versatility, time and material. The more time you'll use it and the
more expensive the wood the better machine......

I am looking to purchase a router and would like some advice. I want a
decent product, but am a public servant, so I cannot afford a
top-of-the-line router. Can someone recommend a decent starter
model/brand for me? I went to a woodworking store and they told me to go
with the high end model, but i don't know if they just wanted to make
money, or were being honest. I know you get what you pay for, but
there's gotta be a decent starter that won't kill my wallet. Any
suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance, Ferg
