Bosch 1617EVSPK 2-1/4-Horsepower Router Combination Pack from Bosch Price: $200.00 Customer Review: If you were looking at getting a combo kit now is your chance to get a 2 HP unit instead of the 1.5 HP units. The softstart and self center bits work great both as a plunge router as well as a fixed base and the 2 HP soft start and mag body makes it easy to control as well as light weight. The 2... |

Porter-Cable 895PK 2-1/4 HP Fixed Base, Plunge Base Kit with Height Adjuster from Porter-Cable Price: $269.99 Customer Review: I was leaning heavily towards the Makita RF1101 Kit but then I noticed the new Router from P/C. I got one since this had all the features I was looking for. Here are my findings. 1. Surprisingly quiet <<80 DB @10K rpm, a little louder at 23K. Soft start is nice. |

DeWalt DW618B3 2-1/4 HP 3-Base Router Kit from DeWalt Price: $279.99 Customer Review: Well, this is my first "yellow" tool. I am a "blue" tool guy but I did not like some of the features on the new Makita routers, they are excellent tools with rave reviews but I did not like the entire motor turning when you adjust the depth. The problem was also compounded that nobody made a... |

Makita RF1101KIT 2-1/4 HP Industrial Router Kit from Makita Price: $249.99 Customer Review: I needed a new router (or two), so I could keep my old router hooked up to a jig all the time. I was looking for a powerful and compact plunge router and a D-handle router in a combination kit withandinch collets, and variable speed. I could not find any such kits. In the past,... |

DeWalt DW618PKV 2-1/4 HP Electronic Variable Speed Fixed Base / Plunge Router Combo Kit from DeWalt Price: $239.99 Customer Review: I bought this router about 2 months ago, and waited before giving this review to get some time using it. I'm a new woodworker, having started about 9 months ago, so I only have used one other router (a craftsman) so I can't compare and contrast for you, however I have to say that I'm very impressed... |

Milwaukee 5625-20 3-1/2 HP Fixed-Base Router from Milwaukee Price: $329.99 Customer Review: Upon receiving this package and opening it, I was enjoying it like a little kid in the candy store. I can not say enough how this tool is nice and well built. I have the smaller brother, 5615-20 as well.

Porter-Cable 894PK 2-1/4 HP GripVac Base, Plunge Base Kit from Porter-Cable Price: $269.99 Customer Review:  I bought this set mostly for use in a Bench Dog RT150 router table with the fixed base. Wanted the GripVac base for occasional "out of the box" use where the vac feature would be nice. The fixed base/motor work REALLY well in the RT150. The motor release and height adjust controls are very... |

Delta SH100 Shopmaster Bench Top Router/Shaper from Delta Price: $249.99 Customer Review: ASSEMBLY: Assembly was straightforwoard and took less than 30 minutes. SETUP: Table alignment was acceptable out of the box. PROs and CONs: I purchased this tool for use as a router table rather than a shaper, and it seems satisfactory for this purpose. However, the overhead blade guard did not... |

Porter-Cable 690LRVS 1-3/4 HP Variable Speed Router from Porter-Cable Price: $136.00 Customer Review: I recently purchased the Porter Cable 690LRVS router to replace a store brand model I have used for several years and it has all the features I desire in a router. Most all the work I do with a router is with the router mounted to a small router table and I found the 690LRVS especially good for this... |

Bosch 1617EVS 2-1/4-Horsepower Variable-Speed Router from Bosch Price: $158.00 Customer Review: No one router is all things to all people. This Bosch comes close. I have the 1617EVS, and liked it so much, I bought the 1617EVSPK, combo pack as well, with the fixed base and the plunge base. The motor easily slides out of one, and into the other. The slide out feature is built into the 1617... |

Porter-Cable 892P 2-1/4 HP Router from Porter-Cable Price: $199.99 Customer Review: This is a very nice design for mounting under a table because it's possible to make small height adjustments from above, without groping under the table. To do that you drill a hole in the router table that lines up with a hole in the router base, and to adjust the height you use a special wrench.... |

DeWalt DW616PK 1-3/4 HP Fixed Base / Plunge Router Combo Kit from DeWalt Price: $199.99 Customer Review: What a great router. I purchased a Porter-Cable 2hp plunge router 97529 and thought it would be great. Boy was I wrong, junk, that's all I have to say about that thing. Although this router is 1hp it acts like the big boys. I've used this router with a 3" panel bit on maple and it... |

Height adjustment is super easy, release the lever and twist the knob. The strap on the right hand side really gives you a solid grip especially as you enter & exit the wood material.

Porter-Cable 694VK 1-3/4 HP Variable Speed Router Kit from Porter-Cable Price: $199.00 Customer Review:  I've been replacing my bargain Sears tools with those of better quality. Couldn't be happier with my other assortment of PC tools (nailers, saws, and drill). The router comb is definately nice, but not nearly as big of a step as I expected over a $59 Sears router. Depth adjustment is definately a... |

Milwaukee 5616-21 2-1/4 Max HP EVS BodyGrip Router Kit from Milwaukee Price: $179.99 Customer Review:  I bought the 5616 in August '03. I was initially impressed with the power (easily turned panel raising bits), the Bodygrip design is far superior to any other handles, and the variable speed option is a must. Like another reviewer however, my router stopped working after a few months of weekend... |

Porter-Cable 891P 2-1/4 HP GripVac Router from Porter-Cable Price: $219.99 Customer Review: This thing is SWEET ! The grip-vac handle acts like a new fangled D-handle. There is a coarse adjustment along with a micrometer fine adj. knob. One of the 2 big plus's is that through the router table adj. that can be made with only 1 wrench. Any 3/16" nut driver will work just fine. The second big... |

Porter-Cable 100 7/8 HP Router from Porter-Cable Price: $149.99 Customer Review: This router is perfect for use of dovetail and other small bits. It uses a 1/4" collet. Compared to other models, it is light in weight and easy to use. It uses the #1001 base which is inter-changeable with the model 690. Has plenty of power for its size. If you don't like to change collets, and can... |

Milwaukee 5615-20 1-3/4 Max HP BodyGrip Router from Milwaukee Price: $154.99 Customer Review: A fine tool lacking only 'soft-start' and variable speed control features,I have found this tool to be both strong and relatively quiet when installed to a router table. Although the bit height can be adjusted from the top of the table, similar to commercially available add-on router elevating... |

Makita RF1101 2-1/4 HP Variable Speed Router from Makita Price: $199.99 Customer Review: Porter Cable is in big trouble with this router. Makita has copied (borrowed) the best of the features that make the PC 690 the standard in mid-sized routers and added lots more. The 1101 has more HP (2-1/4 vs. 1-1/2) Has Variable speed, A much nicer locking mechanism (Lever lock vs. oversized... |

Skil 1825 2-1/4 HP 2 in 1 Router Combo Kit with Site Light from Skil Price: $99.99 Customer Review: I got this router based primarily on its low price and its many features. I wanted 2+ horsepower, variable speed, and both 1/4" AND 1/2" bit capacity. I'm not a super-experienced router user, so the reviews here helped me decide that this router, though half the price of a comparably equipped Bosch,... |
