Fantastic quality, perfect kit.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this kit, as many people do, to attach the fixed base to my router table and use the plunge base for handheld work. This is the only currently router in my shop and it performs very well. Soft start is great.
