As for routers, all I can say is buy the best one you can afford. Like anything else. I have two Elu routers. Amazing German machines but no longer extant. The got bought out by DeWalt years ago, and DeWalt's 3 HP
#625 router is a direct copy of Elu's, and is an excellent machine. So is the smaller DW621.
hmmmm I may have held onto some home improvement books. Have to figure out which box and see what they are. However, if you have one or two that you think would be particularly useful, would be happy to cover postage and whatnot. No rush, since I won't get started until probably mid December.
