great router [Posted on 2000-11-07]
This is the first and probably last router I ever bought. I researched it thoroughly before my purchase and I am very satisfied with it. It's reputation as a workhorse is well deserved. Having a case and both 1/4 and 1/2 collets is a plus. The depth adjustment is easy to read and adjust. Besides that it's made in the USA.

I bought this router to replace a Craftsman that I blew up. I have no regrets about my choice, other than not waiting for the multi-base kits to come out. It is versatile, powerful, and very accurate in its cutting. I since have purchased several accessories for it, including the plunge base. If you are looking for just the router, this is it. Otherwise, check out some of the sets available.

If I were recommending a router to someone just getting into wood working, it would without question, be this tool.People just cant say enough about this machine and what a fine tool it is.For the money, this is best darn router on earth. Just read the reviews and ask around, and this guy will sell itself. Now get out there and make some dust.
Holy Routers, Batman! [Posted on 2002-01-09]
I bought mine about a year-and-a-half ago, and have routed over FOUR MILES of wood with it on a simple home-made router table. It's been through almost every wood immaginable, and a cup of coffee or two, and yet it still works great. The only cons about it: Your neighbors will not be happy with this choice. Like most routers; it's loud. The only other con would be the hand tool bit tightening system. I guess it's not too bad, though. This was the first router I purchased. Very satisfied.

This is my second router and replaced my ... Ryobi "Router". Once again I learned the value of purchasing a quality tool, and the pleasure of violently discarding the source of far too much frustration and wasted wood. I have cut Maple, Poplar and Pine with it so far, and it has yet to break a sweat. I cannot imagine needing another router for what I do (no shaping..). The precision of the depth adjustment is very good and reassuring. The collet system is solid - yes needing two wrenches is a bit awkward, but worth it. Not that big of a problem really, and the overall quality far outshadows this minor nit pick. If you don't need a plunge router, buy this.
