1) Very sharp and polished, easy to clean, does not vibrate or collect dirt. 2) Comes with two bearings and a metal holder, all removable and interchangeable 3) Scissors are good, the shavings are pressed and do not interfere 4) Geometry and good workmanship make a very reliable woodworking tool Recommended for large routers ( 3 hp) as it has a large 3/4 inch and one deep (2 inch).
I bought this router to shape a 2 inch thick cedar shaft. and cuts well. The template I created allowed me to reproduce nice clean cuts. I was skeptical that the cedar edge would hold up and the long, deep cuts I had to make, but that's not a problem. Very happy with the bat.
To all who said it was gossip. You're trying to "suck up" too much material. When I used mine, I used the pattern as a template, traced it around, and then removed most of the material with a jigsaw (within 1/4 inch of my line). Then clamp the template and start the router. It worked great. I am building a large pergola. The ends of all joists, rafters and perkins have a beautiful curved detail. Both ends of 60 boards and no chatter. I like it.
