What Customers Are Saying

The router offers smooth operation, adjustability, and impressive power for a variety of woodworking tasks. Customers praise its soft start feature, LED lights, and dust collection system as particularly useful. The tool is described as well-built and accurate, with intuitive controls. However, some users encountered minor issues with the micro-adjustment knob, bit change process, and base plate opening. The router table fence could also use improvements in stability and adjustability. Overall, the router is a capable and affordable option, especially for hobbyists and DIY woodworkers.

Beware of the Warranty

A fine router until it breaks. Although still under warranty, they will not honor it as the seller (Tools-Plus-Outlet) was not an "approved" Skil seller. Would have been nice to know when I first purchased this Router/Table combination. Very unhappy.

Soft start feature is a knockout!

Would Recommend

This is a great setup with the router and the table offered as a set. A great bargain and works very well. Do pay attention to the bits that you purchase for use, as they make all the difference. I love the soft start feature!

After installing the router to the table, I noticed that I world have to remove the router when trying to add/remove router bits. The second split fence is off by about 1/8 of an inch, and not flat; the left part is slightly in more than the beginning. Adjust it with the adjusting knob and the minute you tighten it moves.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

Disappointed. Adapter for 1/4” bits did not fit. I have several Skil products that I had no issues with but this one was disappointing.
