Honestly, I'm not trying to dredge up this debate again. I thought I would put in one more post to indicate the impact this forum has:
I had no intention of buying last month's GW (Issue 176). I was in W.H. Smith's yesterday, and it was still on the shelf (the ruler is pretty nice, but that's beside the point.) I mainly bought it because I remembered reading on here that Steve Maskery had an article published in it. (That's beside the point, as well.)
I refer you to the article Fixed base, fixed in place, pg.76-77. Andy King sums up: 'Although fixed bases are seen as a step back in some circles, this one is a superb piece of kit and definitely a step in the right direction.'
I think someone's been reading this thread.
Also, note Camvac man's interest in the extracting MDF dust thread. I dare say others in the woodworking industry also take note of what's said on here, even if they don't weigh in.

I have both fixed base routers and plunge routers and find fixed base routers are better at some tasks than plunge routers. for example the fixed base is better for using with my dovetail jig, my hinge jig, edge trimming, edge moulds and through housings.
I have 4 Stanley 2 craftsman and one bosch fixed base routers. I have 4 Bosch, 1 Ryobi, 3 Elu, 1 power devil and one dewalt plunge routers. So 17 routers in all. My favourite is the old bosch fixed base unit.
