Owner gave me this router after asking me about some woodworking tools he was looking for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New tools are awesome; even more awesomer when someone gives you one although donuts are awesomer when they're free

Yes, I received a Kreg router table through Patriot Woodworker.  Installed my Hitachi router into it and was looking for a free hand router to replace the Hitachi.  The owner had a friend at the shop who had a question about a Bandsaw he got off Marketplace that didn't turn on.  Turns out he needed an on / off switch.  I gave him one of my extras and drew a diagram to install it.   Got him up and running.   Couple days later the tires on bandsaw came apart.  Gave him link to get new urethane ones and then when they arrived put them on one day after work. He tried to pay; I wouldn't have it.  Easy task didn't take long, happy to get fellow woodworker back up and cutting wood. 

 

Of course, he told the Owner, and he came asking about routers. Didn't know at time he was shopping for me.

Good to "hear" from you Peter. Hope everything is well. Thankfully you won't have to do that job again for a year.
