The reviewer said the rack-and-pinion depth-stop system on this router is one of the easiest to set and use of any of the routers tested. The adjustable handles are also convenient, since they can be rotated to three different positions. Another high point is that an adapter for P-C style bushings comes with this router. One low point is that no dust collection accessories come with this tool, or are even available for it. Another low point is that bit-height adjustments under the table are tedious since there is no coarse adjustment knob, and since the fine adjustment knob is too close to the body of the router. An extension knob is available to alleviate this issue but that knob costs $25 extra. It is possible to run a 3 1/2"-diameter bit in this model with the collet extended beyond the base, but mounting tabs for guide bushings prevent any bits exceeding 2 inches from passing through the base.
