I hope I'm not hijacking the thread but, since the OP mentioned using a router, I figure he and a few others may be able to help me.
I have a new-in-the-box older router table I picked up at a yard sale for $10. It is a Craftsman 9-25483. The plastic parts are still even all joined together just as they came from the mold.
Question: what kind of router should I get to use on this? I am somewhat a fan of Ridgid tools in general (Lifetime Warranty) but am *totally* ignorant when it comes to routers. I have found and downloaded a couple of review articles from the internet but they are old, being from 2003 and 2004. One of those articles mentioned that the user should be able to change the bit and adjust the bits from the top of the table, which makes sense to me. Any other sugggestions? Any recommendations regarding a specific router model?
Thanks.
