Reviews:

This plunge router is as easy to adjust for router table use as it is for freehand work. An advanced micro height adjuster allows the operator to manually adjust the bit depth to within 1/128-inch, even when installed in a router table. The trigger switch locks on, allowing the use of the master switch on top of the motor for easier access. The micro height adjust can also be used to set a depth stop for plunging during freehand work. A unique depth stop rod allows selection of multiple stops without letting go of the handles. This reduces down time and increases safety because you don't have to turn the motor off since your fingers never get near the bit, unlike base-mounted turrets. For added safety, the 12 amp variable speed motor has a soft start and an electronic brake. The soft start prevents the router from jerking to a start and the brake slows the bit down to a stop sooner, reducing the risk of injury. A variety of tasks can be performed using the top-mounted dial to select speeds from 10,000 rpm to 23,000 rpm to match the application. A large base opening allows use of bits up to 2-1/2 inches in diameter. A dust collection port is built into the base and the router comes with a unique dust cup for edging applications. A precision edge guide is also included for cutting operations using non-piloted bits. The removable chip guard and spindle lock allow quick and easy one-wrench blade changes. To prevent frozen or stuck bits, the included 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch collets are an auto-release design that frees the collet from the arbor the locking nut is loosened. One year warranty with a 30 day performance certification. Includes router, 1/4" and 1/2" collets, wrench #42596, dust cup, and operator's manual.
