Mavel 62 Plunge Router

[tkoerner]

I have seen an advertisement for the Marvel 62 Variable Speed 3 hp Plunge Router. Does anyone have any information regarding this particular router. I have limited funds and need to know if it is worth the money or should I save for something else. If I should save my money for some other plunge router, please let me know what your choice would be. I'm looking for a 3 hp plunge router.

Thanks

Not to beat up anyone's brand, but it sure looks like the Chinese router I got for 49$. And I've noticed in searches that mine comes under a variety of names with a different box. Not saying they are good or bad, but mine seems to be holding up. For 49$ I'm not ready to complain - yet.

Never, owned one, but there are several name brand routers with good reputations in that price range or cheaper. The Hitachi M12V is one. Check Amazon.com. The price of the M12V was as low as $150 last week. And you can apply coupons from $20 to $30 off. Right now it is $160 with $20 off and free shipping you can get it for $140. Good deal if you ask me. I was very tempted last week to pull the trigger. But I bought the Besseys already.

If you are looking for a 3horsepower router, you will have to look at 230 volt machines. Not to common.
