Nor have I. I to have the 1617 in my router table. I have 3 or 4 others as well. -

Well, you guys do not disappoint. I'll check out the portable bandsaw idea (I knew about those, wasn't sure what they could do.) The Makita looks awesome, but probably limited in range. I've never tried using a block plane on end grain, so there's lots to keep me busy for a while. :-) -

I don't use any router daily, or weekly. I have a Bosch 1617 in my table that does everything I need it to do. The 3+ HP routers are monsters though; you won't overload them. Then again, come to think of it, I've never overloaded my 1617. -
No. That is too tight a radius. -
Replacing the bearings at the same time as the cutterhead is pretty much a have to. The Shellix beads have the option of coming with bearings and the price is about the same as if you were to buy them separately. It makes installing the head a simpler job. If you pull the old bearings, you usually make little Nick's in the bearing balls, which will cause the bearing to fail later. The new bearings really really need to be sealed it they will get loaded with sawdust and chips, causing them to fail. If you have any mechanical apptitude, changing the cutterhead isn't hard. Lining it up takes a little care, but not hard.
