I'd go with a DeWalt or Hitachi, I didn't find the built quality and
precision of operation of the Freud up to the standards of a professional
machine when I was looking for a new router.

Hi All.
I posted awhile back asking questions about purchasing a router and
table
(http://groups.google.ca/group/rec.wo...819cf0187f900c
)
I have up to $600 to spend (Canadian).
While i was leaning towards Hitachi or DeWalt or PC, I found the
following and wanted to get opinions:
Home Depot has the following on special right now for $499.99:
Freud 3 1/4 Plunge Router:
http://store.yahoo.com/freud-tools/freudft2000e.html
and the table:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...e=dealtime-dah
Questions:
- Does anyone have any comments on these?
- Does this seem like a good deal?
- The comments on Amazon are mostly negative, which isnt a good sign -
they say its very difficult to change bits, the plunge router is stuff,
etc. Any comments on these?
Thanks!
