I am in the market for a new router + table and came across this at the local tool store. It looks like a great tool for a small shop amateur like me.
Does anyone have thoughts or experience with this tool?
It would be used for simple home project.. cabinets, book cases etc
thanks

If this is the tool which I am thinking of (aluminum table, 9 amp motor), it does not get good reviews, and it is frequently very expensive for what you get. If you do a search on this site or a similar site (woodnet, etc.), you will find many threads which are not complementary to this tool.
Full disclosure: I do not own this tool, and maybe the majority opinion is wrong. I have handled it at Woodworkers' Warehouse (prior to this store's closing), and was not impressed.
I would recommend one of the 2 1/4 hp combo kits and make a router table out of a piece of MDF and some 1x scraps.
