PS  What in the world is Spider Man doing?  It looks like some king of a martial arts kata mixed with a hip hop dance or something.

I have no idea.. it just made me laugh.. I believe the term is "prancing"

Im gonna have to say that looks completely like the dance off Napoleon Dynamite.

I went ahead and purchased the Makita 2 1/4 HP fixed router with the optional plunge base. Ive used routers in the past and am very familiar with all the machinery in my pops metal fab shop so I really don’t foresee any problems. I plan to get into building guitars pretty seriously so I’m sure I will eventually purchase a large industrial pin router. For right now I just wanted something that will get the job done. Thanks for all the replies, hearing everyone’s different ideas really helps me determine what way I would most likely be comfortable doing the job.

Cool then..... Im gonna get the 2 1/4 hp with the plunger base. I think it would be nice to have the combo.

I’ve decided after 10+ years of playing its time I actually make one of these monsters! So I’m looking at these routers to first start with:

3 1/4 hp plunge:

2 1/4 hp fixed w/ plunge base:

My father is a metal fabricator so I have access to a full shop minus some wood working tools. I allready had a huge 18" band saw donated to my cause!!!. Once I select my router pops is going to build a router table so I can mount this thing like a bottom mount or top mount pin style router.

So if these routers suck, then please, by all means point me to the non sucky variety!

Thanks!!
