There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Here is why I rate it 4 stars instead of 5:
1. No variable speed. Believe it or not this matters. Many times I could have made a really good cut a perfect cut if I could have slowed the motor. Making light cuts helps when the application allows.
2. D-base not standard. If you buy this router instead of its yellow cousin order the D base too. It is a real help when doing fine edge work.
This is not a criticism but it is something else to consider if your budget only allows for one router - you can get just about any bit you want in a 1/2" shank. For smaller bits that only come in 1/4" shanks you can change to a 1/4" collet in the bigger routers. This router only takes 1/4" shank bits.
Adding to my review. I put the fixed base to the test this weekend cutting a bead in oak and I'm not real happy. The was alot of blow out. When I changed to the plunge router base it stopped. I'm not sure if it was the router base or the bit. I really like the plunge router base. Jury is still out on this one.

I just want to update my review:
In a little under a year the brushes needed replacing. Now P/C did replace them under warranty, but I was unable to work for the better part of 2 weeks. Now I have other routers that I've had for 10 years and they still don't need brushes. For reference: I use this router (on average) for about 2 to 3 hrs a week in the first year....not a whole lot when you think about it....
Further update:
This router just quit AGAIN....not 4 months later....if you're going to use this router for more than occasional use, or as a hobbyist, it might be ok...but for a professional daily use router? Forget it!
