router on sale at Lowes

[doughboy63]

Seems like a decent deal, I got it in an email so don't know if it is regional or not.

2 1/4 HP freud plunge router $99 normally $250

Seems to be a helluva deal. I paid about $250 for a comparable DeWalt.

Anyone familiar with the Freud brand?

Woodcraft has this router on sale, seems like a pretty good deal.

It's very good stuff.
In the upper range of the good stuff.

I bought this just before Christmas from Lowes. It's the same item and if you can get it locally at Woodcraft you'll save the shipping. (Wish I'd waited, but who knew woodcraft would have the same deal) It's a decent deal and a good router. My only complaint with it is that I didn't check it right away and it turns out that the collet wrench wasn't in the box. I like the plunge base on my Bosch better than this one, but my plan is to use the freud as a dedicated router for my table and the bosch for hand work.
