I have a couple of these routers. I bought the EVSPKE last time it was on sale and got it for around $120 I believe. I sold the plunge, centering tool, DC, Edge Guide and Case on Ebay for $100+, resulting in a dedicated router for my RT that can be adjusted above the table for around $20.

I can't believe their still offering this pup at this price. If I could even think of a use for it I would pull the trigger but have more than I already need. Many, many items already ordered...thank goodness I get home an hour before the LOML.

Those that have been on the fence about getting their first router, jump on this deal. Fixed base and a plunger plus the edge guide and templates! Without the extra's this kit usually sells for $219.

Thanks

Thanks for the find. I ordered one. I have been missing all the router's deal lately. This will be awesome for my diy sub.

Thanks.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The first time this went on sale a few weeks ago for $189, I waited too long to make up my mind.

The second time it was $189 for only a few hours and I missed it.

In the end I saved another $35 by missing those opportunities!

thanks for the info, I've requested a refund from Amazon on my already low (but higher) price of $161.

How confident are you that one could repeat your eBay experience? I have one of these already, thought it would be easy enough to mount the fixed base in the table and just use the plunge base for outside of it... is it really a pain to operate this way?? Everyone seems to have multiple routers... I'm new so haven't seen the need yet, but I struggle to pass up good buys!

Where are you getting this deal? I'm sorry if I'm missing something but I don't see any reference to a vendor. I looked on Amazon but didn't see that deal. Thanks for any help...

Seems that the plunge alone usually goes for +/- $60. Edge guide is good for +/- $25. People seemed to respond well to buying everything together. If you have a fixed base only and want a plunge, then you have no case, etc. At $100 this is a great deal, if you look at the components individually (unless of course you are a BT3 member and are aware of these killer deals!).

Edit : Check out user ID toolmama on ebay. They sell a lot of the plunge bases. You can look at the seller feedback and pull them up one by one. This one sold in the last couple days . . .

Plunge base alone sold for $65

Dear Lord, I think I am going to buy another one of these things, you know a dedicated fixed base router for my new PC 4212.

Sorry, I did leave that out. Yes it is Amazon.

Yowza, what a honey of a package. Gonna have to pay extra luggage fees to haul this bad boy to AK...Best deal yet for me (well except for the dozen big Besseys I got for $200 during that craze way back then).
