Stopped working after 2 days
Would Not RecommendUsed it for a couple adage chamfers on cabinet doors, and it worked well, then I used it for a relief detail on a bedroom door and at one point I set it down and picked it up again and it was done. Wouldn’t turn one, motor never got hot, never bogged down, just quit working. Huge disappointment.

Nice solid Router
Would RecommendHas a lot of power. The soft start feature is nice. I really like the fact it comes with a real case. all in all a nice tool. the cons the height adjustment does not work as the directions say it does in the fact that the middle setting is supposed to allow using a thumbwheel to adjust height. it just slips, the lock setting works fine and the unlock works equally well. Just be assured that the thumbwheel is absolutely usless

Smaller Router VS Larger Router
Would RecommendRecently bought the larger Bosch Router. This one is smaller and much easier to control doing delicate tasks. Variable speed is wonderful. Power is more than required. Best brand and router period I have ever owned.

Overheat Issue
Would Not RecommendI bought this router yesterday. I use routers for my hobby of sign & picture making. Within 5 minutes of use, the router became very hot. I was making a simple design using a Whitesides SC50 bit to acclimate myself to the router. I have not read any reviews mentioning an overheating issue. I posted a question in the forum for some feedback. The router performs great. I really hope it is just a defect in the one I purchased. I will use again today and return for a replacement if needed. Can anyon...
