Nice, just be careful with that circle cutter... trust Its harder to control than you may think. But that is a nice kit! I love Craftsman tools! Free replacement tools are the best!

thanks for the advice, i was anticipating it'd be a tricky tool to get used to -- and for $50, it seems like a great deal. i'll probably wait till the next 10% off day for Craftsman Club members...


and yes, i do have a tendancy to buy Craftsman... they've been great for me.

Thanks for you kind comments. My brother and I do all the work pretty much self taught. We practice different things and ways of doing things. We read about new techniques and give them a try... course that all costs money but its a work in progress.

If you have any questions just let me know I'll try and help you if I can.

But I will tell you this, buy the right tool for the right job and if you have to spend a little extra to get the little bit better one, do it... you'll never regret it.

If you are going to regularly make holes for loudspeakers in wood, you can't do better than a good plunge router with a straight 1/4" bit and a Jasper Jig. Cuts absolutely perfect holes or insets in 1/16" increments. It is also childsplay to flush mount drivers using this combo. Very professional results quickly with little fixturing required.

I got one of them in my stocking! Just make sure you get the Model 200 which will cut holes 2 1/4" - 18 3/16". Unless you need to cut 1" holes. If you need 1" holes then you will need both.
