5 out of 5 Outstanding Kit - If You Are Only Going to Have One Router, This Is It. (2007-02-10)

I got this kit after borrowing a friends router, which terrified me it vibrated and whined so much.

The router itself runs silky smooth and quiet. With a very nice soft-start. Very easy to change bits with clear access with any of the bases installed.

The bases all work well and change very quickly. I find myself using the D handle base the most because of the power in the switch and the solid grip you can get with it.

I purchased a Rockler router table and got an extra base to keep mounted to the table ready to go. In retrospect I probably didn't need the extra base since I mostly use the D base, but the fixed base is nice and compact so it comes in handy fairly often.

The weakest base is the plunge base. It works fine, but is a bit finiky to adjust. Not bad, but not up to snuff with the rest of the kit.

This kit is really a good combo. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

5 out of 5 This Package Is a Winner! (2008-05-29)
