    Milwaukee Multi-base router 1 3/4 HP $119.99 Amazon

    I have enough routers. But, this looks like a good deaL.

    It probably is a good router kit, just make sure you understand it's a single speed router. I have a single speed router kit (not this, Hitachi - KM12SC) for handheld use and for handheld use it works great but I have a variable speed in a table. I would not recommend a single speed router as your only one.

      Great choice for hand use...excellent plunge base, excellent Body Grip feature, built like a tank, but as Vaking points out, it would benefit from a speed controller for table use. Since it doesn't have soft start or any other electronic interfaces, it's a good candidate for one of those outboard speed controllers should you ever want to add one.
      Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.
