The Porter Cable 690 may be all the router you will ever need. It takes both 1/4" and 1/2" shaft bits. It's a very long-lived tool. Had mine since '97. I use it about 90% of the time; I have a bigger much more expensive router for spinning large diameter bits.
Read reviews, buy a used one if you want to save money.

What Casey said. I have two of those PC sets(fixed and plunge base) that are over 15 years old and work like new.

I also have several other routers of different brands, but use the PS's 85% of the time.

The PC is 3/4 hp.... So that's enough?

My bad it's 1 3/4. That's a good deal thanks!
