Bought the set for 159.99 in Dec 2021 when it had an additional 20 dollar promotion. Thought it was a great deal on a tool I'd definitely use in my new hobby. Even bought the bench top table for 190 in June of 2022. They're unopened and sitting in my garage...I may need to get off Slickdeals.

There's a 20% off 3 items for some router ancillaries, including the popular edge guide and guide bushing:

I threw in a straight cut bit to reach the "3 items", and the 20% off showed up for all three items at checkout (-14$).

About as low as these go. I think they were 10 bucks cheaper on Black Friday.

If you need a router pull the trigger on this.

Have one of these on my router table. It's been great. May order another so I don't have to remove the one I have.

How good is the plunge? I got this without the plunge and was wondering if I should return. No experience with the plunge before.

Got this +box from HD last year. Excellent tool, worth the price. Heads up, good router bits aren't cheap.

Just to add on to thisā€”I tried going in store to Lowe's to get a price match and they would not take it (since it's a sale, not a permanent price drop). I got on an online chat and they gave me a price match no problem for in store pickup though

Lowes has to have been the worst price match experience I have ever had. They said they would do it but it took 15 mins waiting in queue and then another 15 minutes for them to "research"
