Purchased "used" like new from Amazon and had to return it. Far from "Like new". Reordered new and it is truly an excellent machine. Soft start and very controllable, flawless results using average cutters and again, the router works like a fine tuned machine. Don't hesitate and to add, I have several Hitachi / Metabo tools and all work well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent router
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022

Bought this router to replace the Porter Cable I’ve had for years.
With that, I can say that the PC guide bushings and edge guide work perfectly with this router.
It’s smooth, quiet, and powerful.

Star deduction because it needs a bag or box for storage, especially for wrenches and small parts (ie edge guide screws), and the wrenches are kinda gimpy, but work.

Given that I picked this up for $70 NIB, I’m super happy with it. It’s worth the $130 it normally sells for.

Great value in this router - especially if you can catch it on sale. Very powerful and a great size. This gives you a full power router with 1/2 in and 1/4 in collets / capabilities. Would recommend for any beginner woodworker that wants a solid corded router. Will see how it holds up long term.

El único pero es que la caja llegó muy maltratada y la bolsa de accesorios abierta le faltaban los tornillos
