This router plunges smoothly and handles very well. A good edge guide, a proprietary guide bushing, and an adapter for PC bushings are standard, which is great given its cost. Adjustments to plunge depth settings are easy, and switching between macro and micro adjustments is simple. You need only flip a well-placed lever. The plunge scale is easy to read. A dial to adjust the motor’s speed is embedded in the right handle, right where your thumb can make quick adjustments. On the down side, the router’s dust collection is ineffective (as it is on most of the other routers). The spindle lock worked fine, but the wrench is stamped from thin steel and uncomfortable to use.
