[Woodworkers] Any recommendations for a router?

[Rick Allen]

I have had a Freud router in my table for over 20 years.  It maybe has 15 minutes a week on it.  This was the cheapest 15 amp variable speed router at that time.  My expectations were 5 years.  The way it looks now if this router last another 20 years it will out live me.

I was pleased with it.  Then it failed after not that much use. Later learned it was a defective control board which apparently P-C didn’t make available or not for very long. Life happened and I haven’t done much routering for a long time.
