    That's a steal! It's a strong, well built, capable router. My only complaint was the size of the throat opening is small but there are work arounds so it doesn't prevent you from doing anything you may want to do.

        Like any 3hp router, it's manageable, but a little heavier than optimum....the $103 price tag would leave some room for forgiveness though! For a total of $200 you could get the FT2200 and a small Hitachi or PC690 on sale....one for table, one for hand.

          I see Amazon has the M12V for $139.99. That's what's in my table and I like it.
