Works great

Works great!! Only issue is that the plunge base sticks a little, maybe after it is used a few more times it will be fine.

nice small router that I can use in lieu of my larger router table mounted router. Does what I asked of it and feels well made. Felt it was a great value for what I was looking for in a palm router

This router is a dream come true!!! Easy to make adjustments, nice and smooth operation. Only had it a few weeks now, and still haven’t found anything about it, that I don’t like.

The versatility of this router, both Plunge and handheld, was perfect for my latest woodworking project.

I ordered this router to replace one that cratered. It arrived quickly and I put it to work right away. It performed admirably and was easier to use than the older large router it replaced. I completed the project that it was purchased for and designed and built a box for the router as a second project and used the router on that project as well. I found that the variable speed feature was useful. The depth adjustment on the fixed base and the plunge was easy to set up even though it is a simpler mechanism than the old router.In short, I think that I’ll keep it.

great router package

Packs a big punch in a small package. It is plenty for everything a diyer like me needed. I have already made pictures frames, cleaned up corners and edges on a bench. I m now looking into making a diy cnc machine and this router is very popular in the many online instructions.

Awesome little router I should have bought years ago. Quick and easy to use for smaller jobs but with enough power for larger ones. The vacuum attachment is a terrific addition that works extremely well.

Awesome power in a small size. Very balanced with nice features.
