Comments about 2-1/4 HP Combo Base Router Kit with Soft Start:
Right out of the box this Skil got tested cutting 12 inch circles out of 3/4" plywood for a Longworth chuck project for my wood lathe. I'm sure it will get a work out underneath my router table very soon. So far I'm impressed with the power and how well things are arranged on the machine. I really haven't found anything to complain about yet. I'm not complaining about the price or the storage/ travel bag that came with it. If not for a little sawdust in some nooks and cranies I would have thought this router was brand new instead of a recon unit.

Comments about 2-1/4 HP Combo Base Router Kit with Soft Start:
Good value for the money for non-professional use. Plunge tends to stick down. Tried to lubricate. One side of plunge have brass bushing on slide-the other does not. Don't know if it should or if cause for sticky operation. Very adequate power and convenient carrying case.

Comments about 2-1/4 HP Combo Base Router Kit with Soft Start:
I recently bought this router from CPO and wrote a review.This is a my addition to my last.I called CPO about not having a Collette included .The service person advised me to call Skil. Skil informed me that the chuck that holds the bits is a 1/2 chuck that holds the 1/4in.Collette which is installed in the chuck. I checked my router and removed the 1/4in Collette to reveal a 1/2in. opening. Case closed in the saga of the missing 1/2in. Collette.

Comments about 2-1/4 HP Combo Base Router Kit with Soft Start:
This is a great router.I had to replace my [@] 1/4in. router that I received as a Christmas gift 38 years ago.It finally threw a brass piece off of the armature.I used that countless over the years.This unit is much more powerful than my [@] router.The only "BEEF" I have with buying it here is the 1/2in. Collete is not included and I can't find one on the net.If that is not a big need for you then I recommend this router.
