This month's Good Woodworking magazine has a buyer's guide and review
on routers.

Since this question comes up quite often, I thought it worth posting a
summary.

They divided the routers into three groups - lightweight, mid-range
and heavy duty. Each is scored out of 5.

In the lightweight range:

Trend T3 5
Bosch POF 600ACE 3
Hitachi ZK2008 4

In the mid-range:

Makita RP1110C 4.5
Trend T5 4
Mafell LO50E 4
Metabo ofE1229 4

Heavy duty:

Trend T11 5
Hitachi M12V 4
DeWalt DW625 4
CMT 1850 4
Bosch GOF2000CE 4


The DW625 and CMT1850 are essentially similar, based on the Elu
MOF177E design. The new Trend is also, but scored higher because of
the built in fine adjuster.
