Now I don't have to. For $60 I was totally sold. The table is cheap but serviceable and the router is totally no-frills. I wish it had an optional plunge base available but I don't really expect expandability at this price range. I would highly recommend the optional extended warranty- the depth adjustment mechanism seems very fragile. That brings the price up to $69 with an extra 2 years of full replacement warranty which is still a great deal. Even Harbor Freight can't beat this deal. Now my only problem is where do I store this thing...

This seems too good to pass up since I have no budget right now but also have no router for some projects where I need one. The link says through the 16th.

When you purchase it, you are also presented with an offer for a 6 piece bit set for $10 marked down from $40. Is Craftsman / Sears getting out of the router business or something?
