I'm with Epstein. vintage Porter Cable speedmatic that has not been detached from the circle cutter for years. I have a Bosch 220V plunge router that I dont think has been taked out of the router table for years either. I like the performance of the big Bosch. But, the trigger is always getting clogged with sawdust and needs to be cleaned or it wont work, and the collet on this is really a bad POS. The vari speed is a must. Always get 1/2" shank cutter when available. As Gary said, dont even bother with cheap cutters. If you have shop space consider a shaper. Now days you can get a shaper spindle adaptor to accept router bits. This saves a lot of money since you wont have to purchase expensive shaper cutters just for a little odd or an end. Bill
