I have an excellent PC Speedmatic 7518 under my router table. The only problem is that it's less than easy to adjust and change bits. An offset wrench helps with the bit changes but height adjustment still means groping under the table.
I considered a router lift but most of them that fit the 7518 are more than the price of a new router. I've been eying up a 3-1/4 HP Triton TRA001 for months, as the newer versions of it seem to get good reviews and it has excellent above table controls. I've just been waiting for a good price.
I've been watching Hartville Tool as they don't charge shipping or tax. I looked tonight to find that they have a Father's Day sale of 10% off nearly everything. On top of that, Triton has a deal where you get a $20 gift card with a router purchase. Since those two things knocked about $50 off the price, I ordered myself a Dad's Day present tonight!
When I get it I'll let you guys know how it is to set up and use.
