Ond big advantage and the reason that I picked the same class Bosch 1617evs
in 1998 is because the Bosch has a micro adjust fixed base and coarse
adjustment. Now you can also get the Bosch in a kit that includes a plunge
base for about $199.

I bought this router for a table mount setup. I don't even use the
plunge attachment.
I am biased because I think makita power tools are exceptional.
The router works perfectly and I have no complaints or problems.
I use my dewalt plunge router for handheld routing. I would recommend
you get a router base with knob to help with control, especially on
edge work.
I am sure there are many great routers in the same class as the makita.
I have many different brands of power tools, and of all of them ...
makita stands out as the best overall for me.
