Freud 3 1/4 hp router

I've had one in use for about five years now. I took out the plunge
springs to make it easier to adjust it vertically.
I have not had any problems yet with moderate usage.

I've had a freud 2000, 3 1/4 hp for years, in my table, and it's always
worked great.
But, after years of work, I think I need to replace the collet and the nut.
Other than that, alls well.

Hi John, have been using mine for a few months plenty of power, I
removed the springs it lets me get the cutter higher up the table.
though if I did it again I would not use a plunge router in a table???
but its a good unit.Dave

I've used one in a router table a friend of mine has in his workshop.
It is a very nice router and fairly quiet as far as routers go. A good
buy if the 2000 model is what you're looking at.

Burned up the first one. it was replaced by Freud. This second one has
lasted pretty well. You get what you pay for. A 7518 it's not.

I have had one in my router table for more than a year. It is a very good
tool and works grear for my table use.

I love my Milwaukee 5625-20 3.5 HP for the router table. Above the table
height adjustment, and non-helical base make it ideal for table work. I've
also use the Porter Cable 7518, and I prefer the Milwaukee.
