Find Best Price at Amazon"While the unit generally is pretty well designed, the access hole for the spindle lock is too small for only but the tiniest of thumbs or fingers."
"Well made, but it's a little hard to figure out how to keep it still until you put that non-slip fabric between the Router table and the regular table. If you're going to attach it permanently, no worries except to be sure not to tighten the bolts to the point that the plastic base splits."
"For small and detailed work, this is a must have!!!"
"Then hardly used top of the line Dremel, the lock started slipping."
"Anyhow as far as the table goes, it's easy enough to operate, has simple, readable instructions in several common languages and may require a bit of reading and/or watching YouTube videos for those, less familiar with these types of miniaturized tools, or power tools in general. I.e: Safety Glasses, finger guards and make adjustments with the tool UNPLUGGED. The only real drawback is, mounting your Dremel tool in this decice takes a few minutes, and of course, that tool can not be used for any other purpose while mounted."
"Creates a beautiful router bench for the dremel and is nice-looking in the garage."
"If you raise the bit, find you overshot the intended height, turn the adjustment screw the other direction to lower the bit, nothing happens. And if you loosen the clamp knob, raise the vertical, tighten the clamp knob a different amount than before, the bit might actually be lower than before."
"Love this thing, easy to mount and I've done a bunch of routing on 1/4" plastic sheet now and it is great."

"This cutter is not exactly the profile of the story bought window stools, but close enough, provided you don't cut into the leading edge of the store bought stool."
"I was confused because aligning a straight edge against the cutting edges under a certain angle gives the impression that the teeth edges are not parallel and might slant inward, which might be desirable for flooring parquet where you need a really tight fit, but in fact, careful alignment of the straight edge clears that false impression: the teeth are perfectly aligned vertically, although they do have each a slight slant forward and backward (what Freud describes as "Freud's exclusive design features a tongue cutter with opposing shear angles to ensure a flawless finish") and my next experiment is to use them for edge-joionting."
"In addition, when you want to do the copes, all you have to do is raise the bit in your router table or shaper table to put the cope profile at the right height. The picture that is shown for this bit is actually upside down as it would be deployed in a router or shaper table, the profile at the top of the picture is the stile moulding profile, and the profile shown at the bottom of the bit does the copes in the rails."
"If I didn't want the thin edge to be there I had to raise up the bit, and then my detail was too deep for my liking, so this one is better for me. When you have to drill a hinge cup hole into the back of a door, you don't want it to pierce through the front side of this detail after you are all done with the door. Having the option of keeping the bit a little lower creates more of a safety buffer, and is more attractive to my clients when you view the door from the front."
"There are NO instructions either with the bits (other than a little chart to show you what thickness spacer to use for various thicknesses of stock), on the Freud website or on the web."

"I used all the bits and I don't feel bad if they get broken or gets dull quickly."
"The bits are ok, not sure if I purchased a bad batch or not but they are not up to the same quality as the skill or Bosch brand router bits I purchased at my local home center."
"bought a second bit at my local hardware store and finished the job but I ran the new bit slower."
"But hey, they're sufficient for a cheap starter set."
"I think from now on I will just buy the bit I need instead of a box full of bits that most of which I will never use."
"I had gotten a router and ordered these bits because it had mostly good reviews for an awesome price."
"I just tried out the 1/8 straight bit and after only an inch of cutting, the bit snapped in half."

"Sapele is a fairly hard wood with variable grain which was compounded by my unusual sweeping curves. Upon receipt, noticed substantial plastic container used by Freud, out of box sharpness and general appearance of high quality fit and finish. Routing freehand against the bearing I experienced a startling kick back upon entry that could have been dangerous."
"A quality bit at a good price."
"I'm going for a shorter (1/2" long cutting length) standard top bearing bit (Freud 50-103 5/8-Inch Diameter Top Bearing Flush Trim Router Bit with 1/4-Inch Shank) instead."
"I was worried about controlling such a large bit but the cutting was silky smooth; just be sure you know the proper router feed direction."

"Regardless of what kind of power tool you are using, there is one universal truth: if you install a Freud blade (or bit in this case), it will perform better. I needed to do something with my new router, and the only bit I could fine was a dull / burnt, steel, off-brand bit I had laying around."
"I needed to cut some slots for tiny loose tenons in some doll furniture and this worked great on oak, cherry and maple."
"I've tried couple other brands, they all break when pushed too hard."
"Nice bit, the only thing is that they bite... be sure to use gloves when taking them out of the router, if you slip, you're sliced."
"In the week that I have had it, it has cut arches out of 1/2" CDX plywood, curved template cuts out of 1/2" Birch ply, mortised for concealed joist hangers in old growth cedar 4x6s and is still as sharp as when I took it out of the box."
"Combined with the dust collection system on my OF1400 EQ, and it was amazing how clean the job was cutting through plywood."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"A thought on dies: some presses have machined metal dies and some have plastic ones. I think metal dies are probably intended for much higher-end watches (the kind I'd take to a professional to service) and in the hands of an experienced watchmaker the metal dies probably perform better than the plastic ones. The experienced watchmaker doubtless has techniques to ensure the finish on your $1500 watch is not damaged by metal dies."
"Absolutely thrilled with this watch press!"
"It took about all of my weight to get it to work, but the press snapped it back in place with out any damage to the watch."

If the pin is stubborn to reinsert and lock, give it a *tiny* push with this tool after making sure the direction and pin orientation is correct."
"As I aligned the first of 5 pins I ended up removing, even though the push rod remained level, I could see the tip of the pin wasn't staying level and had a slight "out of round" movement where it would go off axis. I didn't notice it until it neared the tip of the bracelet pin, at which time it became very evident. I thought if I took the time to micro-adjust the bracelet so the tool's pin hit the bracelet's pin, the act of it entering the bracelet's pin hole might keep it on track, however within a millimeter or two of it entering the hole the tool's pin bent, making it unuseable. I also used the tool to finish pushing the pins into place to join the bracelet after inserting them as far as I could by hand."
"However-do yourself a favor and go on youtube; do a search on DIY methods, plenty of videos showing how to perform this task with items you may find in your junk drawer."
