Is this a decent router?
« on: May 18, 2015, 06:10:33 pm »
With Father's Day coming up, I'm looking at this item:


My main need for a router is to cut the grooves for the T-moulding on the side panels.  Being completely clueless about woodworking, I can't even tell if this tool would do the job, let alone whether it would do it well.

Any opinions?

Yup, it'll get the job done.  Note it has a 1/4" collet, so you'll need a slot cutter with a 1/4" arbor.

nothing wrong with a B&D router , I'm partial to Dewalt but they are much pricier

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Thanks everyone.  I'm sure these "is this tool any good?" threads get tiresome... but I can't afford the ones I saw referenced in the other recent thread, and for a noob like me, a bit of advice goes a long way!
