Freud Inc. - Freud- Heavy-Duty Plunge Router FT3000VCE
This router features a cruise-control system.Plunges on this router are smooth and the plunge-lock mechanism works very well. A large power trigger mounted on the right handle is easy to work with two fingers. I had no trouble seeing the bit during use. On the negative side, even though macro and micro plunge depth adjustments were easy, the depth indicator could not be zeroed. That means you must pick a random measurement to use instead and do the math to figure out how much you’ve plunged. The opening on the dust shroud is small and interferes with any profiling bit that has a moderate diameter. I could not raise most bits high enough to stand the router on its base. Also, the edge guide interferes with the baseplate, making it difficult to adjust.
