I see Rockler is advertising the Freud FT2200VCEP router. Anybody have
any idea what the difference between this router and the FT2000EP is?
I couldn't find any information on Freud's (marginal) website.

Thanks.

Freud makes great cutting tools.

Cutting tools are not power tools.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I didn't mention
'cutting' vs. 'power' tools is my original post. Why the big fuss?

And to your argument that a router *isn't* a power tool...pull the plug
out of the wall and see what happens. :-)

Also, FYI...Freud customer service got back to me earlier today and
said the only difference between the two routers is cosmetic.

Jeff

He never said a router wasn't a power tool. In fact, he never mentioned a
router. What he is saying is that Freud makes good cutting tools, not good
power tools. His opinion. I have never even seen one so wouldn't know.

I have the first release of the big freud plunger. so old it's in blue
plastic, not the current grey, it's single speed and non- soft start.
it has been a solid reliable workhorse for me.

snip this n that about Freud

I don't know about heavy use, but for moderate use, the Freud 3.25 hp
plunge has been very good to me.
