Hi Folks,
No doubt this is a common request but any advice would be welcome.
I do do the occasional DIY about the house and am reasonably skilled but it is not my hobby or even a major interest, notwithstanding that I do have a bench saw, band saw, pillar drill, scroll saw, sanding machine and enough miscellaneous and hand tools to sink a battleship.
I am missing a router though and would like advice as to what would be a good buy.
Essentially I can't see me using it more than two or three times a year. Initially I'd be using it primarily to put a nice edge on softwood shelving and perhaps making groves for plate shelving. Longer term I may wish to use it to make simple tongue in grove joints in softwood/MDF, finishing doors (hinge and latch recesses etc.) and last but not least to make simple window frames for a shed I'm building next summer.
So suggestions please ... as for price it's fair to say I can afford what I want but I object to spending hundreds when something at the 10th of the price will do what I want just as well.
Thanks in advance.
