2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, August 31, 2011

This review is from: Triton JOF001 1/2-Inch 1-1/3 HP Plunge Router (Tools & Home Improvement)

This router is a disappointment. Though somewhat quiet and made to be used under a table without a router lift, those two positives don't compensate for the characteristics that make it an otherwise poor performer.

The plunge action is stiff and grabby. It does not glide like the Bosches, Porter Cables, Dewalts, and other competing brands. The parts that are destined to get a lot of handling are cheaply made, and ergonomically unfriendly. The depth stop turret is flimsy and unintuitive. The micro adjust must be used by eyeball - there is no scale. The sliding door that covers the on/off switch is difficult to use free hand - since I'm returning this router, I can only imagine what a challenge it would be to turn this router on or off under a table.

Most tools deserve at least a few kind words when they get reviewed; but, in this case I can't think of much that makes this router worth having. It is as if someone were given an assignment to design the worst possible router so future engineers could use it as an example of what NOT to design.

I will choose another brand.
