Well routers are all evil B) but, i really like my ½" round nose/core box bit with a bearing on the shank to follow templates. I used it on one of my gutiars to sink the bridge, and pickups into the guitars (see below). I also like my new flush trim bit, nice and sharp, but,that's cause it's new, i think my favorite bit is the Bowl & Tray bit, but i don't own one yet :D

Dumb newB question but what exactly is a pin router and what are they for also, what are the advantages/disadvantages. over a regular plunge router (my newest investment).

Well it's basicly an upside down router table. The router hangs from above by an arm, and the wood rests on ur flat surface. There's a small tube that pertrudes from ur level surface directly under the router and it's the same diameter as the router bit being used (when doing straight cutting) It makes it alot easier to use templates and takes the hassel out of replacing bearings every month or 2. Here's a guide i found to making one :D i think i might actually try this
