I just scored a killer deal on a Bosch router kit last night! This is the router:
Bosch router kit
My buddy just started working in the R & D department of a company that designs and manufactures power tools for various companies. As part of the R & D process they buy competing products so they can check them out. Once a year they have a sale to get rid of all of these "R & D" products that they don't need anymore. My buddy calls me up yesterday and says "Hey, we're having this sale, do you need anything?". I ask him what they have and he starts going on about circular saws and cordless drills, so I say "Do you have any routers?". He says "Yeah there are a few low end Craftsman, something from Black and Decker, a set from Bosch, one from Porter Cable..." I said "How much for the Bosch set?" "97$"he says. SOLD!
I'm not sure what they did with this router as far as R&D goes...but this thing has never been touched. All the parts were still sealed in plastic bags and everything. I did one test cut last night and this thing cuts like a dream. It is soooo much nicer than the 1970's craftsman that I had been using.
