Looks like a great deal. My son's getting into woodworking, so this can be an early bday gift for him.

I bit. Cheaper than a harbor freight router table, can't speak to the quality but we shall see.

This is a great deal on a router plus table. It's fairly no-frills, but seems to have everything the occasional user would need.

Great little router with surprising power for the price. If you have a Delta T2 table saw these drop right into the open space on the right hand wing.

It was posted but a few years back. I know because I bought it and its still in its box. $99 is a steal for this kit.

Don't ya know, you could've opened the box and hung some small laundry pieces on it by now? Hope you've at least set up the treadmill. Wink

I bought it a few years back also, but back then it was the fixed speed router, this one is variable so a better value. I ended up buying a variable speed adjuster on Amazon to make it variable and it works well.

How hard is it to change the bits? Do you have to remove the router from the table then wrestle with 2 wrenches to loosen the collar?

Just my 2 cents but I did not like this router. A few years ago I was trying to make some shaker style doors with this router. The micro adjustment was horrible, every time I went to lock the router it would shift up or down. I returned it and got a bosch with a table, it was triple the price of this but it was worth it.
