 Nice Router but.. A little disappointed that you can't use bits larger than 1" with the sub-base that comes with it, especially having the 1/2" shank PC should include the Router Sub-Base model #42188 with 2 1/2" center hole otherwise it's a good router.  Amazon Prime is a ripoff Wish I could give this more stars - but I have never received the product. I paid a premium for Amazon Prime delivery so I could get a tool when I need it to complete a job. Not true. This not my first problem with Prime. The problem with Prime is that they send it via a delivery service (in this case UPS) with no commitment to honor the 2-day delivery promise. As UPS does not work on weekends (unlike the rest of us), at best I am hoping that this will arrive 4 days late! So what commitment does Amazon Prime provide?  Router I know nothing about these products. However... it was a gift for my husband, picked out by my son, and they are all very happy with it! good quality router As a vocational instructor at a residential treatment center for abused and abandonded children I have used this particular router for many years without any problems other than the base lock on the old style. At our voc. center we have 3 in use. One in a router table, one set into an ext. board on a Delta table saw with a 30" uni-saw fence and one for general use. In my personal shop I use 2 of this particular model. This is not the only routers I use but a real god basic tool easy to operate and well built. | |||||||||
