My first trim router. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Like the variable speed capability. Only knock is that my hands are big, making it somewhat difficult to hold the router. But I’ll work that out in time. Highly recommend it.

Good portable router. On/off switch a little clumsy. Otherwise, easy to adjust with lock lever and dial.

I bought this in a combo pack with two other tools for $200. Thats about $65 a tool. Very affordable and works great. I built some patio furninture and routed the edges of the wood. Tried to cut some grooves in a table top for a glass incert, but it was very choppy. Not the tools fault, but for me the guide was practically useless. Maybe ill improve in time

I planted a 3/4″ auger bit in a 2×4 laminated benchtop and wanted to salvage the bit. Excuse to buy a new tool. This hogged out the material efficiently. Easy to control, and the dust port was solid with a 2-1/2″ hose and adaptor. The bit was easily removed from the collect after use. I am pleased with the value of this tool.

A little more difficult to use than I’d expected. I’m not a pro, so maybe it’s just me…
