Pros & Cons
Pros
The * mrc23 router is an excellent piece of machinery. It is well made and versatile. Also appreciated the speedy delivery.
This unit replaces a practically new dewalt 618 evs router that i mounted under the table. Micro adjustment works perfectly and locks down easily but securely.
I like the slow startup so it doesn't twist your risk when it goes to full rpm. The soft start is we’re i noticed a difference, easing in to the start up. Ran one hard for a few years in a damp environment. They chooch well.
The router provides ample power for most routing requirements in a home shop setup. Comes with a decent length of power cord - nothing stingy by this company when it comes to the length.
Cons
The adjustment knob is difficult to move in either direction. The motor housing gets jammed in the fixed base. Currently i’m trying some dirt and dust resistant dry lube on the cylinders and hopefully that will fix it.
The motor is not running at full speed over heating and smoking. Keep your money in ypur pocket people. All you are doing is making th executives richer!
Highlights
