This router is truly wonderful. Well made, job site friendly, powerful and smooth with a good feature set. First job was helping an Eagle Scout candidate build a pergola.

I am very pleased with this router. It is lightweight and not top heavy. I like the way that the motor rotates through the base to adjust the depth of the bit, making it is very user friendly. The soft start is a nice feature as well. Finally, 1/4″ and 1/2″ collets add to this machines versatility. I chose this router over the Bosch 1617EVS because it is compatible with Porter-Cable bushings used for creating dovetail joints. Bosch does sell an adapter for the PC bushings but I feel that less parts are better. My one minor issue is that this router is not equipped with any LED lights to make the work more visible. Again, this really is not that big of a deal. Overall, a great router.

Really like the ease of changing bits and flexibility to use 1/2 and 1/4 inch bits.

Bought to put in a router table. Works well for this so far. I like the soft start

Very powerful, great router
Eliezer Gottlieb (verified owner) –
This is a comfortable, well designed router. It is easy to change bits and to hold. The flat top allows you to sit it down for bit changing. It would have been nice for one side to have a flat edge so it could ride against a fence when trying to hold a straight line.Overall it’s a quality tool.

Best router for the money, powerful!!
Lincoln Heidenreich (verified owner) –
Excellent router with plenty of power. This router has tremendous capability and is easy to use. The weight is not a problem, and the handles make up for any handling problems. I would recommend this router to anyone, whether a serious diyer or a carpentry professional.
