Default Pawn Shop Tool Sco Router & ROS

I bought a Woodpecker router table insert for my PC 690 router and built
a router table extension for my table saw. I decided to look on-line for a
spare base so I wouldn't have to take the base off of the table to use the
router by hand.

The bases are readily available on eBay, tool sites, Home Depot, etc. They
go for anywhere from $70-$80 once you include shipping and tax. I decided
to try my local Craiglist and found a base that just happened to come with
a PC690LR router for $60. I called the number and it turned out to be a
pawn shop.

I went to the store, and after a little negotiation, I got the router and
a Dewalt D26453 Variable Speed ROS for $80, no tax. The router is in better
shape than mine and the sander looks barely used.

I could've spent a lot more money at that pawn shop. The tool section
takes up about 1/3 of the store. Nice neighborhood too, nothing sketchy.
I'll definitely be going back to shop some more.

(I'm going to try an adapt an old miter saw dust bag for use with the ROS.
If it doesn't work, eBay has them for $14.)
