Review title: A Huge Disappointment
Product review: I put a tongue and groove edge on 1500 linear feet of eastern red cedar to make random width panel boards for my sunroom walls and trim. I purchased the Freud router since I presumed it to be heavy duty. (The work took place over several months time. I rarely ran the router more than a couple of hours a weekend.) The cedar, being very soft, surrendered to the router bits like butter to a hot knife. However, the Freud sputtered and died after about 1100 feet. It would either not hold speed against a load, or not run at all. I finished the job with a $39 ebay chinese import. I originally avoided the cheapie in favor of getting one that I thought would last, and I guess any thing can happen, but at least for me this unit did not make the grade. I like the layout and the controls, and the depth gauge, which is why I gave it a couple of stars. But durable? Nah! I'll go for another brand if I get serious again.
