   All I can say is, I envy you.  I have the older model Freud in my router table, and that thing's a horse, I love it!  Let us know how you like your new one.

   Thanks.  I am interested in alternatives if anyone has suggestions.  I want a 3HP plunge, hopefully thought out for dust collection.

   Freud seems to be taking their time getting them up here (great white north).  I am stuck with a broken router now.  The Freud rep I emailed suggested I special order one which will cost $200+ more than it should.  Thanks for that.  Am I impatient?  Not to that tune.

   Since I have time, I should ask what else there is like Triton, PC, etc that I should consider.  Thanks for any recommendations.

   Triton won best router for a router table in FWW pretty recently. It's a bear though; If you will be using it in a table....fine. If you are looking for a router to use by hand AND in a table, Freuds are much lighter.

   Thanks for the suggestion.  I got more impatient when they said "two more weeks" for the Freud.  Their marketing sends mixed messages.

   I researched the Triton and Bosch this morning.  Both are capable and highly rated for what I want.  I went out and picked up the 1619 and a Veritas table set.
