I've had mine since it was first introduced-it was a love at first use thing. I just can't find a fault with the router as it does everything I ask of it with ease and without strain. The craftsmanship is excellent and the micro-adjustment is great. All of the controls are within easy reach and it is really a pleasure to use. For what it is worth, I would highly recommend this router not only for finish and detail work but for general use as well-it is a very capable tool that will not disappoint you.

This is my first experience with a router, and I am very pleased with its performance and usefulness. It has all the power and capability that I need at the present. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has been intimidated by routers...as I was. I am careful and respectful of it, but I am not as afraid of using it as I thought I would be. A truly fine product for relatively small scale woodworking projects.

I have had this router for a year now. It is great for any edge work, round over and chamfers are no problem.
I also use it to trim the waste from the tops of pocket hole plugs. Made an "L" shaped base to slide over the pocket hole plug and can trim them almost flush.

My first small router and I love it. Hardly ever use my large router any more. The extra sub-base is fantastic. Glad I bought it.

My first trim router. It took a little while to get used to the tool, but new I used the router all the time. Excellent for installing hinges. I would recommend the Colt router. The Colt's power surprised me, the tool plows right through 3/4" particle board for cut outs.

Bought a reconditioned unit that looked like new. Never tried a palm router before. Always thought that it wouldn't have the power. This model is great, however. Has plenty of power for my needs. I especially like it for edge routing with bits w/bearings. It just feels more stable on the work surface than my "two-fisted" models because of the way it is gripped in operation. I think it will be the router I grab first on almost all projects. The optional sub-base for use with router guide bushings is well worth the added cost.

I bought this for use with the CNC Shark I bought from Rockler. When I got it in I had my doubts as to how a router that small would hold up with a CNC system. All I can say is that this is a top of the line unit. It has handled everything with ease and is the CNC Shark is also great, Rockler has tech notes for it which was even nicer thatn what came with it from the factory. If you are buying this for the CNC Shark system, the only upgrade I would recommend is the advanced collet system for this router, Rockler doesn't carry it but you can get them at precisebits.com. If you are using it as a regular router, the factory collet will work just fine.
