The router arrived in a box without any type of padding material. A completely round base would not have this problem. I ordered this router to cut different joints etc. You only have one arbitrary to keep against your guide.I like the power and the adjustable speed, but that by itself does not make a useful router. Also, the router motor can be flexed in the base attachment, resulting in inaccurate cuts. When that happens the distance of the cutter to the guide is effectively changed, resulting in a cut that is off. It has part of the circular section cut off, probably for use with a guide edge of some sort.
The plunge depth adjustment does not allow for repeatable accuracy. It was fine, but that's just not a good way to ship a tool.Another little feature I personally don't like is that the base is not round. If you only want to profile edges this might be good.I would not recommend anyone seriously interested in doing any kind of joinery buy this router. This hasn't worked well for me in practice, because it is a little difficult to keep this section perfectly flat against a guide.
The router has become the favorite tool in my shop- I find myself using it more and more with every new project
The first router I received was defective. I received a replacement a week later and the unit works great. The plunge base would hang up and the motor wouldn't rev up to its designed RPM. The unit was obviously not reconditioned as advertised.
Does the job well. The item was shipped in a timely manner, no complaints, would do it again.
I can't even tell if it was used even once. I bought this for occassional use on woodworking hobby projects. After researching new routers, I found the price on this too good to pass up. All parts were included, as was the manual. It arrived much faster than I expected it to, in great condition.
