I have been looking for another router to use as a hand held router. The 3.25 HP Freud scares me a little out of the table. :saw:
I saw an add on CL yesterday for a DeWalt DW618B3 router kit. Said never used in box for $150. Also noticed it was a second post and was $200 before. So I went thinking maybe I can get another $25 or $50 bucks off. I got there and it was what he said in the add. In the case and accessories in the plastic. So I said sold. Then it got better :wsmile:

He said "I have a bunch of things lying around, we closed a cabinet shop late last year and I kept a lot of things"... goes behind the TV stand and pulls out 2 Porter Cable 7310HD laminate routers and asks if I've ever used one. I hadn't and I really didn't have any immediate use for them and worst of all I'm thinking crap, I only have another $25 in my pocket. Well without missing a beat he hands them to me and says "take them, I don't have any need for them". Score 1. Then goes back over towards the TV, digs a little and pulls out a miter trimmer and asks, "you ever use one of these". On that one I said YES and I love them. Once again he says "take it, I don't need it". I actually felt bad and gave him the other $25 I had.

So all said and done I got the router kit, two laminate routers and the miter guillotine for $175. None of which look like they have had much use. The miter trimmer just needs a little rubbin. I like CL. :gar-Bi

Nice score ... especially the trimmer at that price! I've wanted one of those for a long time, but they are usually closer to 8x that price!

Great scores, Dan -- I have one of the little P-C trim routers and it is very handy for doing trimming and small radius round overs. Free is super!
