I purchased this on clearance at Menards and used it for a few minor projects before having problems with the motor and variable speed control. The motor would either rev or the higher speeds would 'lock in' and not allow for adjustment to a lower speed. Obviously these are major safety issues so I returned it for a full refund and purchased Bosch's similar fixed/plunge base model. So far so good with the Bosch.Do your research before purchasing this router, or any power tool for that matter.
