Both of my 1617 and my 1613 have been good, I'll keep the fingers crossed.

I was shopping for a router kit recently and noticed that these two were nearly identical too, at least on the outside.
It may make no difference at all, but a close >>it doesn't matter what the model number is, don't ever buy a craftsman >>router. >>
I recall there being a time that there were different colours of Bosch power tools. Similar in shape, but green and blue versions. I owned a green (cheaper) Bosch beltsander with bushings and a 'blue' Bosch beltsander with ball bearings. The green one lasted 5 years after the 'Blue' one died. Go figgur.
The Ridgid R2610 RO sander from The Borg is in fact a German made Metabo sander and one of the best sanders I have ever bought. I like it almost as much as my Festool Rotex sander..*G*
Routers and sanders are my life>>> I build solid surface countertops. That stuff is awful hard on tools.

You're probably the 5th or 6th person I've heard say really good things about that sander. I gotta check it out.
