Light weight unit. Easy to hold in operation and simple to mount and remove cutters. Depth adjustment works well after you get the hang of how to operate it. In the few weeks since acquiring this router, I’ve done over 350 feet of tongue and groove with only one mis-que.Only bad item is the power rocker toggle switch. It is mounted where it is just out of easy reach for my thumb and a bit of arthritis makes turning it off awkward. And NO DEADMAN switch… Careful… Don’t drop it!

Lightweight, easy to use. Plenty of power. I have 2, one in my router table and one for freehand jobs.

Very easy to set up and use as a handheld router. Haven’t set it up on a table yet, but results I’ve gotten so far from hand-routing have been great
