Review Summary

For about the same price (or less) that you’d pay for most trim routers, this kit provides a stout variable-speed (10,000–30,000 rpm) 1-hp motor, plunge and fixed bases, an edge guide, and a bearing-guided flush-trimming attachment. This router impressed me with its power and nimbleness in all sorts of applications. Despite the lack of a built-in LED light, good sight lines let me see the bit clearly in both bases during use.

…

Each base has good grip points, and the motor slips in and out of each with ease. I wish the plunge base would default to a locked position, freed to move up and down only when depressing the plunge lever. As it is, locking the lever required loosening my grip on the left handle. And I found the bit-depth scale and indicator clunky and ineffective, and had to set cutting depths by other means. —Tested by Bob Hunter, Tools Editor
