I bought a 1617EVS primarily for use in a table. Yeh, I know I need a more powerful one for table use, but the 1617 is literally twice as powerful as what it is replacing, so it is fine.
I rarely handhold a router, and when I handheld the 1617 it was awkward. Those pretty wood knobs didn't give much to hold onto. I am thinking about replacing them with something bigger and more holdable. Has anyone tried this? I would appreciate knowing your solution; no sense to reinventing the wheel.
Yeh, I know I should get a plunge or D base, but there is the budget to think about.
