Customer Reviews for Compact Router Kit Variable Speed Fixed-base Corded Electric 110v 710w

When I first saw this tool, I was like man. That should be like a scam or something nope. It was like, oh my god, this is the best Cheap tool I have ever gotten and I would suggest this company to every builder friend. I know.

This rotor arrived pretty quick. I needed this to round some edges and finish a guitar I am currently creating from scratch and it did all the precision areas with ease! Thank you for another great product Vevor!

Excellent product great price great accessories have attached to my router lifter kit and works perfectly

Solid feeling. It has a brushed motor but that minor deficiency more than compensated for in the price. It is hand held trim model. In general I prefer a brushless battery operated model but they are much more expensive for what you get. Mine came with a plunge base and several other accessories. Overall a good choice for the hobbyist or beginning woodworker. Unbeatable for the price.

parts missing. Catalog /manual is VERY BAD. Parts are not labeled with pictures.

Overall a good trim router. So far my first and only use has been to rout out an opening in a router table for an insert plate and lift. It had no trouble plunging in 3/8"and removing a 1 inch thick band around the perimeter of the opening to support the plate. A few minor issues out of the box: both the fixed and plunge bases were not centered over the spindle. Since they were mounted with conical-head screws and the holes had no "wiggle room," I had to replace them with round head screws and enlarge the holes to allow centering of the bases. Also, the plastic dust collector for the plunge base was warped to the extent that it would not fit into the opening provided for it. I had to use a heat gun to melt it into the correct shape. The fixed base has a gear to engage with the rack on the router body but no knob to assist with fine adjustment. Finally, I found it impossible to remove a bit from the 1/4" collet without removing the nut and collet from the spindle first. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but it seems to require potentially damaging force to remove the bit with the collet in the spindle. These small issues aside, it's hard to imagine a better value for a variable-speed router that comes with 2 bases and an assortment of accessories.

I bought this router to prove that my favorite routers (Milwaukee and Festool) are superior. Lets face it, routers spin bits, you have a great bit and spin it around, you have what you wanted. This was a huge surprise to have this equipment perform flawlessly. Can't go wrong for a small router with lots of options.

Not all external attachments seem to fit quight right.

I purchased a Harbor Freight trim router and it was too big of drum diameter for the trim router lift that I bought. My brother bought a Bosch trim router and his wouldn't fit either. Both brands seem great otherwise, but they measure 66mm and you just cannot get them to fit a lift. So, this Vevor trim router seems well made and it fits, but we have not tested it yet. I'll be happy to let you know my opinion after I've used it a while.

Everything you would expect from one of the higher end brands without the price.
