Customer Reviews

Bought this re-conditioned on sale for $30. Best $30 I've ever spent. If you need/want a 1/4 inch shaft bit router, you can't beat this for the money. I have used it in a router table also and it works remarkably well there, as long as you are mindful of the 1/4 inch bit limitation. I think it regularly sells for $60, and quite frankly, I would not be unhappy with it at that price either. You're not going to build major furniture with this, but if you want to be able to do most other things that a 1/4 inch shaft router will do, this is an excellent buy!

There really isn't much to say about this thing. It does what its supposed to without problems. Fits standard router bits, and has good grips for maneuvering. The window on the front is large enough to see what you're doing in most cases, but you'll either want to work in a well-lit area or have a flashlight handy, because not a lot of light gets into the cutting area.
