DeWalt - DW618PK Router Combo Kit
DeWalt’s combination router kit features a variable speed 2-1/4 hp motor and built-in dust collection
Dec 01, 2004
A conveniently located toggle switch on this model allows you to keep both hands on the handles when turning the router on or off in both plunge and fixed modes. And if a D-handle is important, one is offered as an accessory. In the plunge mode, the action of the DeWalt was noticeably smooth, a plus because a sticky plunge action can change the focus of concentration from the cutting process to getting the housing to plunge.

Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
Bosch 12V Trim Router
Trim routers are easier to handle when you cut the cord, and the Bosch’s compact, curvy shape and unique base give it unmatched control.
Makita SP6000J1 Track Saw
With enough power to slice through thick hardwoods, the Makita makes smooth, chip-free cuts in all materials.
