The 3612C is the only router out of eleven we tested with an electric brake that slows the bit at power-down. Low points: Guide bushings not provided, and you can’t get an adapter for P-C-style guide bushings. We found the depth-of-cut scale (molded into the router body) difficult to read. Also, the scale can’t be zeroed to easily set plunge depth. When table-mounted, the spindle lock is on the back side of the router. More points: No dust collection provided, but optional above-base shroud ($23) proved effective. This router lacks coarse depth adjustments under the table, but the large fine-adjustment knob clears the router body to ease this task.
