2 out of 5 stars Garbage   June 30, 2008

The plunge base screws rattle loose, requiring constant tightening. The plunge base has now become a 1/2 hour chore to remove from the motor, just to change bases. (gets stuck). Plunge base is not smooth whatsoever, very jerky, takes effort to start plunge, then it plunges too fast. Depth gauge is worthless. Fixed base has above table adjustments that worked for about a week, then started skipping and falling out of adjustment as I adjust the height. Try buying an edge guide for this router - hah, good luck. The motor is OK, nothing special, but is the only reason this got 2, not 1 star. Overall, disappointing purchase. I also bought a Freud bit - went dull after about 5 cuts into soft wood. Will never buy any piece of junk by Freud ever again.

I purchased this combo new thinking Freud was the way to go. TOTALLY WRONG!! The fixed base broke before it was even turned on. The Push button on the base that releases the adjusting screw on the motor from the base broke when the button was pushed in and released. So I am now waiting on a Triton to show up that I ordered, and this ones going back. Just out of curiosity I looked at one in Lowes and theirs was broke also. So what does that tell You! The plunge base is far from smooth and the dust covers on the slides do not cover the slides very well. The router motor was not run so I can not write on its performance. Thank goodness for returns. I suggest looking at one before purchasing or contacting freud to see if they fixed their poor design. Good Luck With this one.
