I boight this router after reading and hearinf some good reviews on it. I've pwned it for a few months now but only took it out to use in the the last couple of days. I ran some roman ogee bits with 1/2" shanks through it and it was perfect. It chewed though the wood flawlwss without loosing speed. It is definitely a good value for money machine if you don't mind it's flaws which I describe below.
