Reccomendation on a plunge router?
leapinlew:
I have a Harbor Freights router I got on Ebay for $15 shipped. It currently sells for about $65 and you can see it here:

I don't have much experience with routers, but I don't have any complaints with this one. I've built 5 cabinets with it and it's still going strong. I'd buy another one if I needed one.

ScottS, I am considering the Bosch 1617 but does that come with a jigsaw and
sanding block (why would I need a sanding block)? After using a router to make the hole, I would like to make the hole look nicer (like beveled or something), somehow have the trackball mounting bracket flush with the CP, and then use it to install T-Molding on my CP.
