    I also have multiple routers. The Hitachi M12V is in the router table, Ridgid two base that I keep a dovetail bit in all the time, and the Dewalt three base kit for everything else. I find myself using the router table for the vast majority of the time.

      I currently have 3 routers, a Ryobi R161 1/4" fixed base, a B&D FS1200RP plunge, and a Hitachi KM12VC fixed / plunge base combo. I love the Hitachi, but that Ryobi is a great little router considering how limited it is...

        Wow... loaded question... I've got (at last count) five routers, ranging from a cheap HF trim router (for trimming lams and easing edges), to a standard CM fixed-base model (used off-table for work where lightness and maneuverability are needed), up to two great big Hitachi plunge-monsters (one in-table on a lift, and the other for heavy off-table work). Didn't really see a poll answer that was applicable, so I'll abstain... (from the poll, C-Man, from the poll... )

          I have 2 routers. Both Bosch. One is a colt the other is a 1617evspk. The colt is great for handheld work where the base of the full size router is too cumbersome to wield. It does get really hot around the handle however. The fixed base is mounted in a cheap router table until I can build a permanent home for it and the plunge is what I use for everything else. I have only been doing this stuff for a few months but so far everything works well. I should have pictures up in a couple of weeks of the big (for me at least) projects I have been working on.

            Due to the amount of spam that seems to be attaching to open polls I am closing all open polls, sorry guys.
