This router is a heavyweight for a diy'er perhaps not used to routing. It is quiet, smooth and responsive with a good cable length though the cable itself is unnecessarily heavy. Worth paying the cost for a decent router and this comes in a decent carry case with good accessories. I have even used this as a beginner to make a roundover on my worktops and it performed excellently.

It's a heavy old beast and with ample grunt to get the work done. Very easy to operate, particularly with its smooth start. Great product and highly recommended
