Routers

[bazookazilla]

Please be very cautious (readaranoid & suspect) when it comes to pawn shops. I have had one pawn shop try to sell me a power tool that did not function at all (they cited ignorance/I refuse to believe) and I have had another pawn shop sell me a belt sander that did come on when plugged in, but was stripped out so badly that when I got it home and put a belt on it, wouldn't turn at all. Sorry pawn shop owners...this has just been MY experience.

Because each type is a little different, I would buy one and see what all you can do with it. You may find that they are a lot more useful than you thought. Check out all you can do with it, and if your not happy owning it, you can sell it.

The router is bar far one of the most versatile tools in a wood shop. you may only need it for one use now, but i'm sure with a little research you can find a reason to use it for a different purpose. and who doesn't want a reason to a) start a new project and b) buy a new tool.

If you are not sure if you are going to use a router much,look around for a trim router.I have seen some for sale on American sites for as low as ten dollars.There is not much that you can not do with them.The only restriction is you should take multiple passes.This is one tool that is very versatile and fun to use.For a small investment it is a start to bigger and better things.
