I got this last time but haven't used it yet.
After my short research I figured it's difficult to find the plunge if you want to purchase it. Honestly, I couldn't find it. Reviews suggest getting both plunge and router together if you eventually get one.
Also difficult to find base plate or table accepts this router.
Good news is; it fits Ryobi router table (according to reviews).
It's a solid router that accepts both 1/2 and 1/4 bits
Price is so good to pass

Thanks OP. Same price at lowes. For others with lowes advantage (credit card), the return period is 365 days compared to Amazon's 30 days.

I've got the plunge/fixed combo. Great router, just the plunge is a little sticky at times Selling mine though since I'm moving otherwise I'd keep it.

Lowes says list price is 89, therefore 22% discount, vs Amazon list price 149. Weird that lowes description says 1/4in, but product picture clearly shows it's a 1/2 in router.

Avoid it lol.. Get a cordless one. With all the rotation and stuff that you do with a router, the cable can get annoying to maneuver around.

Lol or I'm just noob.. Which most like is the case too =P

Got this router a few years ago with the Bosch router table. Works fine. I was lucky to find someone selling the plunge base, case, and accessories.

Incredible price. I got this unit from Lowes a few years back and it has served me well. I believe it comes with a 5-year warranty which is one of the lengthier ones in the industry.

Is this dead? It's showing up for $132 on amazon.

EDIT: never mind, I had to clear the cache. I was looking at the same exact router before the deal on Amazon when it was $132.
