5.0 out of 5 stars Power machine, February 9, 2000
By Dennis Spires (Western Nebraska) - See all my reviews
Boy does this machine have power. I have the square base and don't have soft start but am real happy with everything else. I cut out stair steps with this big old boy and never lack power even with a large bit. You haft to hold onto it when starting it. Now I have it in the router table all the time and use it with the 1/2" dia. shaft bits so in hard wood the bits don't chatter. It really has been good for me and I'll be working it for a long time. I've made a bedroom set, 3 china hutches,matching buffet,computer desks, cabinets and all out of oak. Used it on some american elm and hard maple also. I use other brands at work and have this one in my home shop with 3 other brands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ay Caramba, March 26, 2001
By "rob_weiner" (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This tool has had consistent accuracy, ease of use and power to burn. It was in great shape right out of the box, and has been running smooth ever since. I saw some comments about a kick at start up but I think the start up is plenty smooth especially for such a big tool. I have used it for plunging 1" bits into cross-grain and it just flies. I can not think of a bad thing to say. If I lost it somehow, I would buy another just like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars No need to spend more money - this is tops, June 15, 2001
By A Customer
This router is exclusively used in my router table due to it's size and power. I *LOVE* the variable speed and soft start. You can run the big bits at much slower speeds and not get vibration or burning. Bit changing is straight forward (equipped with shaft lock), and they never jam (I use 1/2" shank only). There is NO REASON WHATSOEVER to pay more money elsewhere for any other 3+ HP router, or even a shaper - short of a factory production line.This is a tool that I will enthusiastically encourage anyone to buy, without any shortcoming at all - A GREAT TOOL VALUE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great router
This router works great. I am impressed with its power, accuracy and noise level. The delay startup is great. The only thing I wish it had would be an internal light.
