Dust collector attachment is faulty.
Would RecommendLove the router, but the dust collector stinks. It would work well if that little attachment actually fit. But it just doesn’t there’s a little lip in there that’s supposed to slip right in and it doesn’t, so there’s a big gap between the desk collector and the router so it’s pretty ineffective.

First time router user
Would RecommendWhile using a router for the first time, I realized you need patience to get a clean cut throughout the wood. With patience it worked out perfectly. It was user-friendly. After finishing a project making a straight cut, I have no dislikes about this router because I am a first time user. I would recommend this craftsman router.

Tiny, yet powerful.
Would RecommendThe variable speed allows you to slice through whichever wood you choose with ease. It’s light, even with the 8amh battery. Adjustibilty is nice & straightforward. Nice entry to mid level router for the price.
