Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 1/4-in 12 -Amp 2 -HP Variable Speed Fixed Router

Compact and easy to use.

Compact and lightweight. Easy to setup and use.works well right out of the box

Solid deal if you see it available

Was looking for a router and table and this fit the bill for my son and I to start making projects

Custom Woodworking Projects

I used the Kobalt 2-HP Variable Speed Fixed Router while building a custom oak bookshelf for my home office, and it handled edge routing and dado cuts smoothly. The variable speed control was easy to adjust, and the motor felt strong without being overly loud. I enjoyed using the router overall because it stayed steady during longer cuts and produced clean results with minimal vibration. Setup took a little time at first, but once adjusted it performed consistently throughout the project.

Router works great.

Everything is great except for dust collection and narrow material against the fence.

If your thinking about it get it

It was good very useful for my project I was honestly shocked at the value was easy to put together and will last for years to come

Router uses 1/4 and 1/2 shanks

Router and table seems to be well made. Router should have enough power for most projects. The table has basic accessories but sufficient for most needs. Table surface is smooth and flat. Easy to assemble with the ability to use the router without the table. I haven’t used any of the tools yet. I have been looking at the table at other stores for the price this was the best option for me.

Kobalt = Dewalt of the West

Love it! For $100 on sale such a good deal. I’m an intermediate woodsman so I don’t use it often but for my recent project the frames came out beautiful. Can go wrong!

I have bought two Kobalt routers, and they are ...

Very good based on price and quality. You can’t find another product like this for such a low price. I have already bought two of these router tables. I bought one in 2021 and the other in 2026, and I’m very happy with the results. If it’s on sale, it’s an excellent purchase.

Good combo

Decent router table combo for the price. It didn’t come with the manual to assemble it.

Love it!

This is the best $100 I have spent on a tool. It’s making my router jobs easy, cleaner and safer. The dust control works great. The only thing I would do differently if I was the manufacturer is make a way to store the accessories. I used some strong earth magnets and screwed them to the plastic legs to store the accessories.

Great Starter table with a good router...low price

The fence and included feather boards are great, but the miter guide is below my standard, for sure. legs to table are plastic, wish they were cast too, but they work for now. The router is awesome! Very capable and easy to operate.

Great combo

Very nice combo. Router is heavy duty and the table has some nice features.

Happy, would buy again.

So far its been great I am new to table router, easy assembly. Setup was quick got it on sale for 100$ which was a steal as most are more without a router. Router has been stalling a little but could be beginner error. Overall happy. Take your time and dial it in and she works great.

Reliable product

This product was easy to assemble. I normally buy dewalt products but since they didn’t have this combination I gave this a shot. The reviews were great on it. The product was easy to use an did great work. It was my first time ever using a router. I recommend this product to people who are new and getting into wood working. I am looking forward to using this for many more projects. Even the bits for this came at a fair price.
