I needed a router to finish an 80% I had purchased and didnt want to make the same mistake I made in purchasing a Ryobi drill. Dont get me wrong it worked great for small jobs but bogged down when i needed the power. I didnt want the same to happen with my next power tool and went for this router. I was thinking of getting the 2+ hp one but wanted to save some money and im glad i did. This was more the. Enough to power through a block of aluminum with ease and has been used for multiple wood working projects since. The adjustments are easy and it seems to glide through everything small home project I have used it for. the only complaint i may ha e is that i wish the shop vac attachments came with the router.

I bought this a few months ago and have used it several times and I love it. I have struggled using other routers in the past. Not the case with this. Very easy to set up and easy to use.

Have only had the tool for a few weeks, but thus far it is a very nice addition to the shop. Allows me to do more intricate scroll work. I really appreciate the LEDs and the transparent base, which make it very easy to see the work piece. Easy to make micro-adjustments and one tool bit change.

I bought this router combo a year ago and it has quickly become my favorite router. It’s performs as advertised and I especially appreciate the LED lighting. I recently used it to help build a large bookcase and found the powerful soft-start motor and plunge base combined with a shop made jig and standard guide bushings the perfect setup for cutting accurate mortises. If you’re looking for a smaller “palm” type router I highly recommend this product.

My first plunge router so I have nothing to compare it to. I’ve been successful with it and have fixed a couple holes in doors by doing inlay patches which required an inlay bearing.I thought I had read that the router had an eight sided collet that would make bit changes easier. This only has a normal collet and you can push the yellow button in, move the collet a little by hand till you get the wrench on it. I have trouble keeping the yellow button pushed in while tightening the bit. I may have been mistaken that it was supposed to have an eight sided collet, but I do wish it had one.However, I like the router a lot and hope to do a lot with it.
