Review on Precision Router System Kreg PRS1045 by Cee Pouncy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A solid router case that has put a lot of thought into it, but could use some minor tweaking.

A massively milled guard with a lot of effort. Easy-to-use, easy-to-adjust slotted channels are great for attaching accessories. BUT. IMHO it could be better. There are screws on the front of the fence with adjustment knobs on the back, allowing you to install a cutting hole. When you adjust the hole and are about to re-tighten the knobs, you will either have to put your finger on the head of the screw or use a screwdriver to re-tighten it. I have a feeling they would be better with non-rotating screw heads or some other method of attachment. The vacuum connector seems to come loose too easily, but better than breaking, I think it's easy to fix by attaching the hose to something solid so it doesn't pull. It would also be nice if there was room on the rail for accessories you don't want to lose, such as a freehand router starter pin, any extra collets, and other small items. The only thing that I think could be improved is the plastic microcontroller.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
