My Mom got a miss priced Ryobi (sp?) for a damned good price. $50? $60?
Saw a DeWalt in good condition with case go for $125 ~ at auction. More
than I would pay. Rather borrow Mom's.
Basically the guy got a proven machine with accessories for $50+ less
than retail. And no Tax.
I like buying used.

When in doubt hit the throttle. It may not help but it sure ends the
suspense. (Gaz, r.moto)
SOLD! Actually, I found a DeWalt 682K on ebay for $100. It had been used
as a demo toold for about 2 hours (not all of it running time). So, with
TTL, etc., I am paying $100 and it will be here next week. The seller's
name is Strasser-Hardware and they are located in Kansas City, Kansas.
They have been in business for almost 90 years so they are a reputable
company to do business with.
I appreciate all of your responses.

If you can't afford it at this time, look into getting the cutting head and
blades for your router from Sears. I have one and it works fine for most
projects. You don't have the 45 degree cutting availability but for 90
degree cutting does OK.
