Pros & Cons
Pros
Only negative issue is that the sub-base plate opening is small. I have a small cnc router table (17 x 17 x 3) that had a dremel advantage on it. It took some work to get it set up on the bench dog router table--since this is otherwise the ideal route... Read More

Competitiveness
Its a wellmade sturdy tool affordably priced
I have it mounted under a kreg table with a lift
So i bought a makita at a higher than average price and ended up having to buy a 24 base plate with a 2
It costs a few bucks more than competitors but replacing a single bearing on popular routers is over 100
