I was skeptical making this purchase because there were no reviews on it at all. However, there were reviews for the CNC machines this company sells. They were good reviews. What impressed me most in the reviews for their CNC machines was what their customers had to say about how good the customer service was. This is rare! I took a gamble and bought one. It came nicely packaged in a box with each of the accessories in there own box. The router body slid easily into each of the three different bases it came with and all the bases locked well around the router body as they should. It's a nice looking router. I have only used it one time so far. I used it to cut out a 5' x 6' window opening that was covered with 3/8 inch O.S.B. sheathing. I used a Carbide-Tipped Single-Flute Pilot Panel Concave Router Bit to do the job. It worked very well. I expected it to get hot because of the reviews I had read about it's look alike (The Makita RT0701C 1-1/4 HP Compact Router) It didn't get hot at all. So far I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. You can't beat it for the price.

I bought this router because I needed one with a tilt base, which wasn’t available for the router I already have, a cordless Milwaukee. It’s a step down in quality and convenience, since it’s not cordless and the depth and angle adjustments are not precise, but it is inexpensive and did get the job done.

This was sold as an addition/attachment to the Genmitsu CNC router but it is too small for the mounting bracket. I can't find a size of bit that seems to fit in it. A 1/8 is way too small and a 1/4 is still to small, it won't lock in. A 1/2 inch is way too big. I would return if I didn't wait so many months to try it out. Worst order ever.

i've got probably 200+ hours of steady usage on my CNC router gizmo just in walnut alone. There are some subtle differences in machining (like inside the base unit) but other then that it chucks up the same as the Makita counterpart (65mm). Quieter start up (wind up) and that's the only sound difference I can detect. Speed control, same. In another 50-100 hours I'm going to purchase 2 more for spares.

Like other reviews. it stays cooler on a cnc then makita. Could have been packaged better.Havent used it enough to say anything about longevity. Will update if it has a shorter life then makita

Pleasantly surprised by the power and lack of noise. Using on Shapeoko 3XXL.

Maybe have 20 hours of use on this router on my Genmitsu 4040 pro, and bearing failed. Pieces fell out while running. I new it wasn't a top notch unit for the price, but expected more.

I needed a router for insetting something into a wood plank.I am not a woodworker but like to tinker with projects and crafts.I shopped a local hardware store and found something of a similar design but with this kit I got much more for the price.The feel of the tool seems solid. I've used the fixed based and I noticed there was a little slop in the clamping of the router into the base. I probably have to adjust the nut on the clamp better.I like the speed control at the top.Only draw back is I wish there was a light on it, I've seen others that have a built in light.Not a deal breaker I can use an external table light.The vacuum attachment worked great for getting rid of the wood chips.Now lets see how it holds up over time.
