Very good deal. Down $20 from just a few days ago. This thing is a beast in a table, probably more than most will ever need

Have this and mounted it on my router table base. It's been great and I highly recommend it especially at this price.

I have one of these routers in a full size Kreg table. It's really, really good.

Is it worth paying another $30 for the plunge base?

Somehow I had a 20% off coupon that stacked on this (!?), so I went with the combo router/plunge that @SirLinux mentioned above for $119+Tax+FS.

Yes, that one comes with a nice case too. This deal is in a cardboard box.
