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.

I have looked at trim routers a million times but never "wasted" my money on an undersized tool that won't have enough uummph to get the job done. Boy, was I wrong! I have 3 other routers in my shop but this is now the first one I reach for on most jobs. It's just so comfortable in your hand. It has the power I need for most jobs without the weight & awkwardness of 1-3/4 hp routers.

I have had mine for a little over a week now an have not had some of the trouble that some have had the lock works both for tightening and losing the chuck,The first time I used it, it did get hot but I had the speed set to high (max) with a large core bit turned the speed down and it works great I love this little router, a lot faster to set up than my other routers.

Just bought it and I used it on a bed to do final finishes. It works great. Power is great. Light in weight. Very comfortable in hand. Can't wait to use it on other projects.

Have had this for a year. The first one had the button detent fail, and it was replaced by Rockler with no problem. The button detent is still the weak part of this. Tend to use this more than the porter cable because of the soft start and variable speed.
Also realize that this does not take standard P/C router bit bushings, which is a pain, but with the flip side that the hole in the base is larger diameter, and I have needed that a couple of times.
Altogether a good item with a few weak spots.
