wanted buying advice on router

Jan 12, 2005 4 Replies

I'm in the market to purchase a router. I've seen too many bad reviews on the internet an would like for advise. What I'm looking for is a router with soft start, variable speed and also



1/2+1/4 colet. I would also prefer a plunge router around 2hp that would work nicely in a table.

Some stuff from the page about Model 7529R

  • Starts and runs on standard household current Advanced micro height adjuster Soft start and electronic brake Variable-speed adjustment
  • Easy blade changes
2 HP variable-speed adjustment Will accept 1/4" and 1/2" bits

Good thing that it starts AND runs on household current. I hate it when I buy a tool and find out that it requires that special industrial current. Its even worse when I have to start it on industrial current but run it on military current.

And the easy blade changes are very important to me because I change blades on my router frequently.
