Surprisingly good router

Reviewed by: rallin78

Review Summary

This router has surprised me. I thought it was going to be a backup router for the job site. Now I use it all the time free hand around the shop (I use a Triton in my router table). It is very powerful, compfortable to handle, has lots of features not found on the old standards (Porter-Cable). About the only thing I wish was better is the documentation. Rockwell is notorious for having poorly written owner's manuals and this router's proves it again.

…

There is even a piece in the box I still have no idea what it is for since it is not shown in the manual anywhere! But this is still a good router.
