That’s a smoking deal. I’d have gotten 2 just for the routers.

Still available, comes with a flush trim bit and an edge guide and couple sheets of sandpaper.

Always wanted to dedicate a router for a single purpose so perhaps this will be my flush trim router - sweet.

A year ago Home Cheapo had a deal. If you bought Rigid tools from them, they had a lifetime warranty for everything. Check it out.

Love my Rigid router

Here is the router deal I found this week - an old rockwell 4601 for $15. Originally they were called the model 64 and were aimed at the homeowner market. Eventually they morphed into the PC 309 which had a smaller base (cousin of the much missed 310). They have really good air flow through the body so they usually run very cool which helps them live longer. I really like them and have about a dozen of this type.
