Okay, I'm sure there is a post on the forums somewhere but I for the life of me cannot find anything. Anyway, my question is. When buying a router, what should I look for? I'm not a pro at this and just wanted to get something to muck around with, maybe one or two thingies etc. I keep hearing about collets and bit thicknesses etc. I now of the 2 types, but not sure on bit thickness and it's availability. Could some of the more experianced woodwaorkers maybe just give me some advice on what to stay away from etc. I dont want an exspensive tool though.

Would this be an okay buy?
