I hope this is the proper forum, if not please move. Thanks.

Well, I came into a deal I think. A fellow ww stepped up to a milwakie(sp?) router 3-1/2 hp for the router table. This leaves his old Freud sitting in the corner collecting dust. He offered it to me for $50.00 for a FT2000E, which is a 3-/1/2 hp plunge router and a new collet. Is this a good deal or not? I know it runs great, just can not use it till the new collet gets here. I am hoping to trade some soft maple for it.
 
Yes, that is an exceptional deal. I have worn out one Freud and replaced it with another in my router table. My first one wore out many router bits and was a good machine for the money. I expect the second to be just as good.
 
I've never used that router (or even seen one in person), but based on the reputation alone, if I needed a router and that one came up at that price, I'd be all over it.
