Makita 3 1/4 plunge router:

This was a big dissapointment, usually makita puts on a good show. But not this time. The tollerance in the plunge mechanism is terrible.

My low funding restricts me to purchase just one router that will do it all. I think getting a 3.25 horsepower is a safe choice for me in order to have sufficient power in anticipation of unknown future projects. I was really tempted to buy the Hitachi M12V because of its unbeatable price. Although the reviews on it were also great, I stayed away from it because of its... more info
