Title: Attractive features, but poorly built
Review: I purchased this router a year ago for permanent installation into a router table. I was attracted by the height adjustment and spindle lock from above the table, and thought I could save money over an expensive router lift. However, from the start, I noticed a lot of backlash in the height adjustment. Also, the spindle would shift from side to side if the height adjustment direction was reversed. I decided to live with it. Then, the height adjustment socket in the base (made from plastic) stripped, forcing me to reach under the table to change the height. Recently, the spindle lock stopped working. Today, the motor died. I'll stick with Freud blades and bits, but avoid buying anything from them that plugs in.
