It does what it needs to do, but there are some minor niggles with it. There is some play in the plunge mechanism, maybe less than 1/2mm , but it does move. The fine adjustment for the depth shook free after a few hours of use and the screw was lost, but putting another one in seemed to fix it. The speed controller also seems to vibrate itself back down to the lowest speed rating when it is being used, so a piece of tape is needed to hold it at the speed that you want it to run at. Finally, the screws on the base plate of mine came with their heads already gouged out by whomever fitted it. This probably sounds like I wouldn't recommend it, but actually these seem to be mostly just niggles and it does actually do quite a good job.
