Inexpensive Fixed Base Router

I want to purchase two inexpensive fixed base routers for use with a through
dovetail jig. I already have various PC, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, and
DeWalt routers. And I like them all. I was thinking of buying one of the
consumer grade units so I could leave the bits properly set up in the
routers. Any opinions on what's decent? Keep in mind, it will be very
limited use.

Thanks.

Rick

If that is the case, who makes a professional grade router?

Get a set of dewalt 610s

For an even better price - check the local pawn shops - most likely you will
find them.

Most of the products sold under the above names are "consumer grade".
