There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only beef (which isn’t really a fair one) is the small table. Have to use left thumb to hold onto projects to prevent rocking. Will likely make a plexy add on to give a larger seat.
Comes with 3/8 inch collet cone, which is handy since I have some 3/8 shank bits.
On the downside, the base is fairly narrow. Have to hold the router carefully to avoid tipping.
