Apparently my router died. Finished a job; wouldn’t start for the next. Less than 50 hours so I’m not replacing it with a Carbide unit. What are the favorite replacement routers?

I was using the Makita RTO701C before I went to the spindle setup. I still use it for odd jobs.

Dead Router! Replacement suggestions?

We had a lengthy thread on this a while back:

I’m probably the only person who picked something other than a spindle or Carbide Compact Router or Makita RT0701:

which has worked well for me.
