My granddad used to buy everything from them when he still "tinkered around the house". IIRC, once he bought a 4 ton jack weighing ~50 pounds shipped for $5! It worked so well for so low a price, he got another one to work twice as fast. (FWIW, he was bending pipe for handrailings on circular staircases in his house.)
The online site is pretty bad, but he passes the mail catalogs he still gets on to me. Some of the prices have to be too low to make any money on them.

Ok, i think i now know where to look for a cheap router, but there is one problem. I have no idea how to use one to install T-molding. anyone want to lay that out for me?

Someone posted some excellent DIY links a while back with great pictures/diagrams....
here's what I remember (you're on your own though - i.e. i am not responsible for your actions)
Always cut from left to right... try it out on a practice piece first.
Make sure your slot cutting bit is assembled correctly, securely, and put in probperly into the "chuck".

If I get a wild hair I'll look up that old thread (or you could) and post the thread/link here.
