XBIGJIMX Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think i Stole it! this thing looks and sounds brand new PIN ROUTER!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Looks like a great tool at a great price. I personally never understood the need for a pin router though. I prefer to be in control of the tool instead of the workpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBIGJIMX Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am the total opposite i like to know the blade stays in one spot so i know where not to put my hands but its just personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 But if your hands are on the tool, there is no way they are going to get in the way. its harder to pull or control against the tool than to be the one guiding where the tool goes, IMO.

sdshirtman Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 <<-- jealous. That's a hell of a steal. Congrats. Care to elaborate how you got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Shaping work is a balance of two opposing forces - that of the cutter and that of the workpiece. Ideally all work should be mounted on a heavy mobile sled with a pin router. Wonderful score. You'll have great fun making templates. Either that or you'll get sick of making templates for one-off jobs ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBIGJIMX Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 <<-- jealous. That's a hell of a steal. Congrats. Care to elaborate how you got it? It was scored on Ebay. The guy listed it for $450 on Craigslist and he put it on Ebay as well trying to see what would go first. The first time he listed it he canceled it early and relisted it instead or paying to put a reserve on it (which was his mistake) So when he relisted I bid it up to $200 so it had some money on it. Well I guess he did not read the fine print Ebay will not let you cancel an auction if there is less then 12 hours for any reason. So it went to the end. At the last minute I upped my bid to $451 ( i would of paid the $450 for it easy) And it got snipped up to $280. So I paid immediately and made arrangements to pick it up . When I talked to him I could tell he was not a happy camper. The thing was this guy was LOADED and the $170 he lost could not of mattered that much I just don't think he liked that he had not "won the game" basically. I will say this it was the hardest thing to get into my shop Shaping work is a balance of two opposing forces - that of the cutter and that of the workpiece.
