Ok, so some of you might know that i'm carpenter as my education, as well as electrician. As summer is coming, good weather come too, and so i like to do carpentry stuff outside (no need to clean up hehe.....).
So i decided it's time to invest some money for professional-grade router, which was only chinese left in these tools.
Festool is overpriced IMO, bosch didn't have features i was looking for, and Makita, dunno why, but i'we never liked 'em.
For power 1.4kw would have been overall good power, but local shop didn't have it in stock, and unsure whether it comes in stock or now, so i decided to buy 1kw one. There was 2.4kw model too, but i don't need such power yet.
So, i ended up with triton's JOF001, 8mm shaft i needed to buy seperately, but not big deal.
Just figured i'd share this investion with you. Too bad local markets for lumber are pretty scarse....i'd love to get my hands on basswood, perfect for chip carving.
