talk about a strong router.  I wanted to use a nice big 3" bit and my 2 1/4 HP routers might have done it, but this guy takes it and is so smooth its like hes not even straining.  rounded over the edge of the table top like it was nothing.  and the 5 speed selector with speeds listed is great.  its always guess work or math to try and find the speed of the router to match the bit, now just pick the RPM you want and go.  Very nice router.
