Ended up buying a Bosch 1617EVSPK 2.25 HP from amazon as I had giftcard. Seems to be a standard proven unit thats been around for awhile, reliable.

All right next up is the circle jig..point me in a direction Bill!
That is the exact router kit that I've had for years. I love it. The wooden handles feel great and it's very versatile. Get you a Jasper Circle Jig and you're in business. I tried building my own circle jig first and used it a while, but the Jasper is so much more precise and faster to use.

Shoot.....all this tool talk makes me want to build something.

Whew! Thank goodness I came to my senses.....

I just got through repairing my 40 year old air compressor....that should hold me for a while. I'll stick to fixing gear and building cables. Stuff I can do sitting down.
