WORKPRO 6.5 Amp Compact Router Combo Kit, Fixed & Plunge Base

Since mounting my full-size router to a table I needed something for free hand work and smaller projects. This router runs smoothly & has plenty of power. The depth adjustment holds tight and is fine for rough work, but if depth is critical use a gauge to set the depth as the adjustment is a bit sloppy when unclamped. Tool seems well built, not too heavy but enough weight to stay put while routing.I did not try the included bits, I already have the ones I need and trust. At this price point I’m not comfortable risking it and ruining a project because of cheap bits. By eye they look fine, edges

Let me start by saying that I am not a seasoned, professional woodworker, but I am an avid hobbyist, and I am certainly able to tell the difference between solid, well-built tools and flimsy, cheap tools, especially after a little bit of use. I've had this tool for a couple weeks now, and I must say that I find it hard to agree with some of the more critical reviews, especially those that describe a cheap build that slips and comes loose and a collet that doesn't fit 1/4 inch bits properly, etc. I found none of that to be true in my case. The bits come in and out as they should without any dif

This is a great little router and, in my opinion, cannot be beat for the price. I would have given it five stars however I had issues with the first one ordered. The plunge base would not spring back up after releasing the lock as it should. I contacted amazon and they promptly sent replacement within two days. This one is perfect, and the plunge base springs back up as it should after lock lever released. This unit includes plunge and standard base with edge and straight guides and several guards with vacuum attachments for dust collection which in my opinion works as well as it can for a rou

Works good, plenty of power. The Fence is kind of shoddy, and the plunge base has some glitches but that's easily remedied with a drop of machine oil on each shaft and its action is as smooth as any other router I've used.The other benefit is with the plunge base, the "DeWalt Universal Router Fence" ( Amazon ID B00002232W ) fits perfectly using the inside holes of the DeWalt fence which gives very smooth adjust meth of the fence in addition to a micro adjustment. I haven't found a base for the trim router base, It could be used in a router table if you made a 1/2" plywood adapter plate to go f

Everything appears to work except the collet is either defective or became deformed. 1/4" shank router bits do not fit into the collet including the bits that came with the router, and other router bits that fit correctly in my other routers. I removed the collect and attempted to put a bit through the solid end of the collet to verify sizing and it does not fit into the solid back side of the collet so the collet is definitely too small or deformed.

Very powerful. I got this because, after using a Ryobi trim router to round off baseboards and butcher block counter top, I wanted a plunge router to make cutting boards from the extra butcher block.It is way more powerful than the Ryobi router. It has RPMs and torque that are more than adequate for thick hardwood. It won't run past level 4 on a 2 amp hour battery but runs on all settings on the 4 amp hour battery that's included. It's a beast so runs though the battery quickly on high settings. Unfortunately, Great Star, who owns the Work Pro brand, only sells 2 amp hour batteries separately.

I picked up the WORKPRO Router Combo a few weeks ago, and it’s been a solid addition to my small workshop so far. The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it felt in my hands—lightweight enough to maneuver easily, yet sturdy enough to tackle hardwood. Switching between the fixed and plunge bases is straightforward, and the plunge feature has really helped me make more precise, deeper cuts when needed.The variable speed control is a nice touch, allowing me to dial in exactly how fast I need the router to spin depending on the type of wood I’m working with. Even at higher speeds, the motor

I was opening up an existing hole in a cabinet top to replace the drop in sink with a new one. All the new ones are a bit larger. I purchased this to open the hole up. This little machine was a beast. I did use a bit I purchased separately that really removed material well. But this little router has plenty of power and did the job well.
