Customer Reviews for VEVOR Compact Router 1.25HP with Fixed Plunge and Offset Base, Variable Speed Wood Router Kit Max Torque 30,000 RPM For Woodworking & Furniture Manufacturing

Literally caught on fire the first time I plugged it in and turned it on!!! I do not recommend unless you are wanting a toy. It will not handle any kind of hardwood without shooting sparks and smoking internally!!!!

I purchased this with Vevors other trim router with extra bases. They have the same footprint so they are interchangeable. This one is good if you don't need the other bases. This is a very powerful, easy to control handheld router which I put to use very often in my shop for easing edges and other routing tasks. I'd own a dozen of these if I had more room in my shop. That would save me from changing bits all the time. But I'd have no hesitation buying another one of these routers even though I just bought two.

Very low quality. Both fixed & plunge base were defective. I could get the plunge base to work for a bit but the fixed base was junk out of the box. Vevor makes you jump through hoops to try and get a refund, so I probably wouldn’t purchase another tool from them again, no matter how cheap.

It is just the size I wanted. Nice attachments. The part I didn't like was that the router will not go in the base easily. It took 2 people to pull it out.

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.
