Title: Had to be the worse purchase I've ever made.
Review: This has to be one of the worst tools ever made by Delta ... and I'm usually a big fan. The fit and finish are awful. The spindle doesn't line up with the hole in the table. It's a single speed, around 12500 rpm which is too slow for small diameter bits and too fast for a large panel raiser if you're cutting anything other than pine or mdf (You can't use a speed reducer with this motor, either). I bogged it down trying to take a finish cut with a large panel raiser.The grooved metal table marked up every panel or board I've ever pushed across it and the spindle doesn't have enough travel to allow you to mount even a thin plywood top to protect your work.To get started you're better off with a 1-1/2 hp (minimum) variable speed router with a 1/2" capacity chuck and a moderately priced router table ... until you can step it up a notch later.
