Rouiter

Mar 30, 2008 13 Replies

I need another router my old craftsman is beyond repair ( I will try ) one of the old ones over 25 years. So I'm thinking about another new router I recently bought I have a Porter- cable 6911 and Hitachi M-12 . The Hitachi is my second one I had the older model but it feel of the work table. So I was thinking about another Hitachi KM 12VC or the PC 893PK. There is about $110 price dereference I really like PC tools but am pretty happy with the Hitachi M-12 but it doesn't see allot of use I use the small all the time. Any way that's two I'm considering any thoughts? or other suggestions ? I need the plunge base that's why I'm looking those two.

Not Rou-i-ter "Router" but I wonder what a Rouiter is? I might need one of those also

A rouiter is a power tool for stirring French and Cajun sauces.

: will it work for paint?

Only if it's olive oil based paint.

I thought that was a routier!

For olive oil you'd use a routeroleo.

Botta'-boopie? Botta-boopie! (I have a moustache, so I can speak Italian... )

DeWalt has a couple of nice kits with multiple bases. One with a regular and a plunge base and another with those two plus a D-handle.

Thanks but from my own experience with Dewalt. Everything I've bought Dewalt Dose not last .

I have the PC 893PK; have been very happy with it, though I'll admit I haven't used it much yet. Plunge base works quite well.

My wife is 1/2 Italian, and I drive her nuts with that.

Interesting. My experience has been otherwise. I have a DeWalt scroll saw and router and have had no problems. The DeWalt planer is a big seller at the Woodcraft where I work and I haven't seen any coming back. I don't know much about their portable table saw.

I should have clarified. I talking about Cordless tools My experience the batteries do not last , the tools feel flimsy. They have started buy them at work Mostly for cast iron no-hub bands holes saws threw steel studs the 18V is what they are buying they just break in no time, the old 12V Makita's last forever. I bought myself a 14.4V drill the Dewalt rep said the batteries were good for 1200 charges, this was for home use the batteries went out in no time.
