Reviews:
Freud designed this tool as a high-powered plunge router with all
the important basic features but without the bells and whistles
found on more expensive competitors' tools. The result is a solid
workhorse of a router at a reasonable price. And don't think it
lacks anything woodworkers need to handle a wide variety of tasks.
In fact, this tool includes a height-adjustment knob for table mounting
and a dust collection port, both of which are considered extras
on other routers.
The variable-speed dial on this router is easy to access and offers
precise microadjustments, and onboard electronics keep motor speed
constant. This model also offers the soft-start electronics we've
come to expect on high-end power tools: power comes on smooth and
quickly ramps to full speed. As a result, the big 3-1/4-horsepower
motor doesn't torque the tool from the user's grip. Of course, aside
from its use as a handheld router, this tool is designed to be mounted
to a router table; it is powerful enough that we feel comfortable
using it for many tasks we might normally assign to the spindle
shaper. We find Freud's router particularly user-friendly when we're
making adjustments: the sliding shaft lock, plunge lock, and quick-release
depth stop are all conveniently located and easy to operate. Overall,
this is a very good tool at a very good price.
