I"m thinking it's time to get a router for our basement shop. I don't want to sink a ton into it as it won't be used a ton but mostly for rounding off corners. i have the dremel router setup but that think scares me it's so funky. Anyone have suggestions? I don't need a high power either.
Tool question: a good router for occassional use?

They are $139.00 new! I would try to get that "gently" used one!!! It looks clean.

What will be the primary use of the router?
I'd stick with a multiple speed Dremel and router attachment with bits.

Sorry for the late response. The subscription for the thread hasn't told me i had responses. It'd mostly for doing roundover of corners on props i think as i can't do it perfectly by hand to save my life. I'd feel better if the dremel one was sturdier. I should see about maybe making a small router table for it. I bought 2 bit sets and never used them so far. I found some plans online for making better tables for the dremel as a router and mini table saw and turns out the plunge router base went down in price so at least i have options while i shop around.
