<p>I've plunged into it using what I had available to me, using pine as the main body build, and oak as a cap</p>
<p>All reclaimed, breathing new life into the wood which once was a pine bay window ledge and an oak hotel bar , heres some pics. Having fun, everyday a learning curve </p>

<p>It's a fine router, smooth etc. I mainly use it for the truss rod channel. I find the palm routers much easier to handle for everything else. Stick a bigger base on them to make them even more stable. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My latest favourite is the erbauer palm job from screwfix, has a fine adjustment, soft start, speed control etc and is relatively quiet compared to some. </p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Hi Andrew, </p>
<p>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. </p>

Looking at my first router and I'm seeing that this plunge is an add in cost to this palm router.</p>
