Hi everyone, subjective as it might be, I was wondering if anyone in the forum jas had any experience using this colt router for guitarΒ  builds. Looking at my first router and I'm seeing that this plunge is an add in cost to this palm router.

Thoughts, all in one surface and plunge or pay the additional for this and add ons ?

Also if anyone using it, could they please give a mention on how well it performs with the tasks

Thankyou in advanceΒ

Hi Andrew,Β 

In the UK the Bosch GKF600 is the same as the Colt. It is a great wee router but there are cheaper alternatives out there. One of the advantages of this router and the DeWalt D26200 and The Makita RT0700C is that there are several guitar making jigs out there that are built specifically to use these routers. Just be careful.....you can be swept down the guitar tool rabbit hole. Rutlands do a good range of routers at reasonable prices....look out for their daily deals and you could get a wee bargain. Aldi and Lidl stuff is not bad for the price either.Β 

🎸🎵🙂🙏
