Amazon.com Review
There's no tool like a router for edging, trimming or cutting. Skil's new 2 horsepower plunge router can perform all the functions needed in a home workshop or on the job site while drawing only 10 amps at full RPM. The 1/4-inch quick-change collet with a 2-inch plunge depth accepts a wide range of bits and cutters . The Skil 1820's Micro-Fine Depth Adjustment makes bit depth adjustments fast, easy and accurate while the soft-grip handles are ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use. The wide base opening allows for quick and easy bit changes plus the Built-in Work Light illuminates a pattern or an outline to insure more accurate cuts. Accepts Skil's 91018 18-Piece Carbide Router Bit Set as well as most other brands of 1/4-inch bits. Ideal for woodworkers, carpenters and cabinet makers. Applications: Use the Skil 1815 for making cabinets or shelves, decorative inlay work, manufacturing wood trim for cabinets, rooms, doors or windows, mortising hinge plates or inlays, dovetailing cabinet drawers, edging countertops--C.

Comments of Router October 12, 2008
The 2 hp Skil 1820 Plunge Router is an ideal Machine for ocassinial home use and works as expected for a 1/4 in shank router. The only drawback is the fine depth adjustment. It is very difficult to adjust a precise dept of cut. Also it would be nice to have incorporated a two step adjustment for deep cuts so a rough cut can be made and then followed up with a final depth
 overall good purchase October 8, 2008
For the money,this is a good buy.However, the quality and workmanship
of the router are marginal at best.But it works ok.I don't believe it will hold up over the long haul(however long a haul is).
 GREAT PLUNGE ROUTER FOR THE PRICE!!! September 5, 2008
I thought that this was a bargain for the price I paid. It does everything that I could want. It seems to have all the power and functions of an expensive router. I am an amateur woodworker and it does the job for me. Great starter router. I would recommend this router to anyone.
