Universal baseplates don’t fit this router

Would Not Recommend

Seems to be well build but there doesn’t seem to be any accessories so you can put a bushing guide on it to use with a jig

Great for house projects.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is nice to have expecially for projects around the house. Simple to use and love how it is cordless. My hand fits around it nicely to hold onto. I love how i get to control the speed it goes to allow it to go slower or faster.

Trying to deal with Lowe’s it next to impossible. I placed ampick up order for one item, and on item will be shipping. For some unknown reason, they charged for both, which is correct, but then charged for the one that is shipping two more times. Then when I got to store to pick up, I was charged again. There was plenty of money to cover the order so I am not sure what exactly happened. They didn’t help, told me I could call the 1-800 number, I did that, no,help,either. Now I have almost ...
