Sears router on sale

[Mazeroth]

With 3 handles and a price under $100 it looks like a pretty good deal ($120 off, supposedly). The only drawback is no dust collection.

Hopefully this will help someone out there!

Ah dust collection is over rated anyways :B

That does look like a pretty nice router though.

Wow. I paid $99 for a Hitachi m12vc and thought I got a good deal.

According to one of the reviews the dust collection is great. I don't see a dust collection port anywhere. Do you?

[Hdale85]

Not that I see.

More research says it does have dust collection.

Here's a review I found on it as well, although it's short:

Per the review:

# Loaded with features such as dust collection port, edge guide and heavy-duty carrying case

Hmm...... I doubt it has as good of dust collection as the Dewalt though. But the Dewalt is a good bit more money.

that's a nice price!

I have the non-professional little brother of this and like it alot... I wish they had this sale 4 months ago!

Thanks.....I'm headed to Sears.........

I'm still on the fence. I have the DeWalt DW621 and a Ryobi RE180PL plunge router that I keep around with a flush bit and sometimes a roundover. I was thinking of selling the RE180PL (the one Home Depot sells; $99 new) on Ebay for $50 - $60 and picking up this package for $50 more. Anyone think it's worth it since I already have the DW621?

$107 w/tax. Seems very well built. It does come w/dust collection for all the different bases. A woodworker friend who does hi end trim work and cabinets said this router is a heck of a deal. One more day, its worth the bite.
