I bought this router 2 years ago. I used it probably a total of 10 hours in 2 years. Worked well until the bearings seized. Very disappointed in the quality. Many forums talking about the same problem. Woodcraft should not offer such junk.

We purchased this router a year ago and have 3 warranty replacements in that time. It lived in a router table and was used 15 minutes a day as a light chamfer router. I hate to use words like 'absolute garbage,' but this piece of equipment is absolute garbage. I really miss the old Porter Cable 3 1/4 hp workhorse... so sad it was discontinued.

I purchased this ~10 months ago primarily for raised panels. Over the past 10 months, I've really used it kind of sparingly since I'm just a hobbyist, maybe 3-4 raised panels, plus some other stuff, rounding or chamfering edges, that kind of thing. I noticed yesterday what I'm thinking are the bearings wearing out. This was observed while removing material for a tray. Love the soft start and the power, but I am disappointed with the life. That said, I'm sure it will crap out and I'll have to replace it. So, here I go again looking for something a bit more durable. Yes, this thing has been mounted in a router table for the duration.
