Now in the market for new router.  The murder victim was an older (25+ years) Ryobi, with lots of power and heft.  Mostly used mounted on the wing of my table saw.  I don't use a router a lot, but it's nice to have when needed.

I saw this combo on big A, and would appreciate any opinions or alternatives.  Thank you,  Jim.

Jim,

 My wife accuses me of a router fetish and admittedly, I have several.  This Bosch that you are poking at is my favorite.  In fact, I have two of then with one hanging under my router table.  A bout six months ago I replaced the bearing set but it was easy peasy.  If you’re a vet you may want to price them at Lowe’s.

  Ron and others here recommended this router for me a few months back & I am happy they did. The soft start on this router is nice when doing handheld work. I do miss the single wrench bit change with the Ryobi but I'm pass that now. I did find the price cheaper at Lowes.
