<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>I've got a earlier version of the Ridgid and I wouldn't buy another one. The collet doesn't hold the bit like it is suppose to, so the bit has a tendency to slip down and ruin whatever you are routing. I just bought the little Dewalt with both the fixed and plunge bases. I really like that one.
