Amazon.com Review
This may be the most powerful router you'll ever own. Its 3-1/4-horsepower, 15 amp motor makes quick work of anything you can feed it. I expected it to tear out of my hands at startup, but for its heft, it has an amazingly soft start at every speed: 10,000, 13,000, 16,000, 19,000, and 21,000 rpm. This kind of power doesn't come without some noise, so be sure to wear hearing protection. The handles are comfortable and offer a secure grip, but at 17-1/2 pounds this is a heavier unit than most routers. The plunge depth range is 3 inches, and there's no doubt this guy can handle it. The ball bearings are 100 percent sealed, and a six-position depth-stop turret is a nice touch. It takes 1/2-inch shanks, so it could double as a shaper in a smaller shop. Here's another nice plus: a cool auto-release collet system that ends stuck bits--no more wrench-tapping and pleading! It's a beauty of a machine for heavy routing or production use. It won't disappoint you. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

From the Manufacturer
Built for durability, accuracy, and power, this rugged 3-1/4 hp plunge router is a true workhorse. With a beefy five-speed, 15 amp motor that maintains a constant speed under load, this router is up to any task. Designed with 100% sealed ball bearings, the bottom bearing in the motor is closer to the workpiece, giving it the least vibration and run-out. A precision-machined aluminum motor housing prevents the heat build-up that can damage motors. Router bits will not become "frozen" or stuck in the collet due to an exclusive auto-release design that frees the collet from the arbor as the locking nut is loosened. Though a 1/2-inch collet is provided, collets are available for 1/4- and 3/8-inch shank bits. The convenient plunge mechanism with fully enclosed springs allows easy entry of bits when cutting into the surface of a workpiece. A plunge depth of up to three inches can be easily controlled with a six-position step turret and depth rod. Truly built for power, this router packs a punch. However, the soft start makes startup safer and easier on the operator. Great for the production shop, countertop fabricators, and furniture makers. When used in a router table it can also act as a shaper for shops with a smaller budget. Includes plunge router, 1/2-inch collet #42950, two collet wrenches #42596, and operator's manual. FEATURES
