Customer Reviews
I bought this router after extensive research. I looked at Makita, Porter Cable and Dewalt. It basically came down to the PC and the Makita since I read many reviews about the Dewalt motor going out rather quickly! This is a great router kit for the money. Router has plenty of power, and is fairly quiet, too. Zipped right through oak and ash with no problem. Variable speed and soft start are nice. It also comes with 1/4 and 1/2 collets which is awesome. Another nice thing is that the porter cable guide bushings work with this router. The case for this router is very nice and holds everything well.The only two problems I have with this router are with the plunge base and the power switch. The plunge base has a very smooth action when you get it, but the slides seem to get filled up with sawdust fairly quickly (A common plunge router problem) and the clear chip guard comes off too easily. The other problem is that the power switch is on the top of the router (like the porter cable 690), which is a difficult spot to turn it off at. It would be nice to have the switch at your hands. It seems that basically this router is just a copy of the Porter Cable 690 with an extra 1/2 hp. With the great deals on the PC 690 and the fact that basically ANY accessory works with the PC, make the 690 also a good choice. One nice thing about the PC is the ability to use a D handle (an add on) which puts the switch at your fingertips. I opted to go with the extra 1/2 hp however and have not been disappointed. Either one is a solid choice.
Very good router. Sturdy and good smooth motor typical Makita craftsmanship.
Light weight and easy to use and manuever. Its powerful and goes through the wood easy.
Carrying case makes it easy to keep all its accesories together.
It comes with 1/2 and 1/4 inch collets for different shank router bits. Flat top allows for easy bit changing. Can't say enough good things about it.
