   I have their overhead pin router and it's a good machine but I bought it used for $200 and have been servicing machines for many years so I can deal with problems, just a few minor repairs needed to bring it back up to snuff and I have a $2,000 machine. Other guys turned it down because they didn't know how to fix it.

   My recommendation would be to perhaps spend a little more on a name brand and buy locally for the service factor in case you have a problem. The few dollars you save can cost more in the long run. Just my opinion and you will find many others may say something else based on their personal experience.

   Rusty -

   I would agree with Rick. For the reasons he mentioned plus whenever I can I try to support my local tool supplier. Once they're gone I won't have anyone with whom to make eye contact if I need advice and/or service.

   I realize how difficult it is to resist the mail order prices we're seeing on some of these larger stationary machines, though.
