What Do Think of this Router Deal

["Jacob Robinson"]

This is really a spinoff of a Deals & Discounts thread

Would you buy this router?

How's the Quality?

would PC bushings fit this router?

Ok,
I noticed you attempting to get an answer in the other thread. I do not own this router and don't know of anyone who does. That is sometimes an indicator that it is not a popular model...sometimes there are reasons for that.

Owning a popular model opens up more avenues for things like parts and discussions on threads as well as jigs among other things (you already asked about bushings).

Don't get me wrong... this could be an awesome router. I personally, would suggest moving your money toward a more popular model rather than jumping on this because of the discount. Strictly an opinion. If you don't get tons of positive answers here on the Creek that may be another indication.

It only had 2 reviews at Amazon so far, both quite negative.

Id pass If I were you, untill there's more info out there.

Nice price, but not well-reviewed. See this thread for my personal experience with this router:
