I am about to purchase either a multi-router or a matchmaker. Does anyone have experince on either of these units? I am a custom furniture maker and will be giving which ever one I buy a good work out. - How accurite are they - how easy to set up - how well made. If I can save some money on the matchmaker that would be great - but if the multi-router is worth the extra costs I will buy it.
thanks, Darrell Peart

I just about loaded my pants when I saw the price of a Multi-Router. Have you looked at the Leigh FMT jigs?
The look of the Multi vs. the Match is night and day. The multi is MUCH cleaner, heavier-duty, and better templated. Cast iron vs. aluminum and about 100 lbs is the first difference I see. The Match looks to be damageable by a shorttubafore (what are those horizontal slider bars, 3/8"?) while it may take a telephone pole to bend the Multi.
At your high level of work, I'd think you'd automatically opt for the Multi-Router, even though it is way, way overpriced, IMHO. Give David Marks a call and ask how he likes his. (You just might pull that off.)
P.S: Congrats on the book deal. I'll be wanting a signed copy when it comes out next year.

Someone of your talent certainly should have no problem making his own capable multirouter. Several others have done so. Check woodnet.net forums for ideas.
