Would RecommendWanted the plunge base and could not find one for my older router. So I picked the comb and glad I did. It works well and easy to use. When WOOD magazine rated it the best value it made feel even better about my decisions to buy it.

Great Value Combo
Would RecommendI was looking for a kit that had a plunge router base. I also wanted a dust-collection solution. Routing can be super messy. I was expecting to have to buy a dust hood separately. But this includes it for both the fixed and plunge base. I haven't tested with the fixed base, but for the plunge base I had virtually no dust! Very happy with this purchase.
Looking forward to use it often!
Would RecommendUsed it once so far on fixed base. Installed on router table but has not run it yet. I like it!

Good tool at a reasonable price
Would RecommendMade four 4ft x 10ft display panels using 2 x 4's and 1/4 inch x 4 ft x 8ft designer lattice. Routed 1/4 inch slot which was 1/2 inch deep on 116 ft of lumber. My first time to use a router and my daughter and I split the routing and cut/assembly tasks with her doing most of the routing. Router was easy to use and set up for the variable speed selection, bit attach, bit depth and edge guide were simple,..
