I just stumbled upon it in my reading, and thought it was interesting.

He got me thinking how well a router plate needs to fit into a table in
order to avoid "giving the cow away" right there. In fact, if you read
enough of his words, (substantiated by some product reviews at
Amazon.com), you may sense a feeling on his part that the industry is
not really trying it's best to provide customers with the best tools
possible. For instance, in developing tools that don't run well upside
down (in tables). I observed that the Milwaukee 5625-20 (3.25 HP)
seemed to be prominent in this regard.


When I was looking for a table mounted router, the PC-7518 seemed to
be the gold standard. I bought the motor only for a lift. Perhaps it
was because the motors are sold separately that they're so popular.
