    That's an older design than any of mine so I cannot comment on usability. If it runs 1/2" bits or you need that large of a 1/4" collet machine (if that's all it runs, I don't know), $45 is the cost of a bit. I'd probably buy it but it looks like it is a screw retained collet so wht you get is probably what you get. If it seems kinda funky, then its just an old router and I would wait or use the money for something specific.

    what is a screw collet? does it change the usability at all?

    I wouldn't be afraid of any Milwaukee tools, and $45 sounds like an easy price to live with. Look on ebay and see what you can get it for as a comparison. Lastly if the tool is nearby, try it out and listen to it for yourself.
