Has anyone tried a Rigid Laminate trimmer.it seems pretty nice for the price.I`d like to be able to adapt it to a Blues Creek binding jig, and use it for routing saddles.
                        Thanks James

I bought the Ridgid 2400 from Amazon for around $75 for a rebuilt one. I
think it was recommended by John How.   It looks nice, I like the size - small
enough to be handled easily, however it came without the 1/4 collette for
tightening up bits, so I haven't been able to use it. Does anyone know
where I can get one?

The soft-start feature is nice.  It comes with a bearing follower jig.  I have used it for doing binding routs.
