millers falls router

[ihemii]

hi there, i am a hobby wood worker and wondered about peoples opinions on the millers falls 1/2" router avaliable online, i realise quality is the issue with these cheap imports & would appreciate the low down on them.

Didn't know Millers Falls were still around, unless the Ayshuns have a cheapy knock off of what used to be a good product.
I had some of the original MF gear and it was good, can't recall who owned it all but think there was an affiliation with Delta/Rockwell.
I am really relying on memory but if it has sprung up again I would be doing some research first (which is why he asked the questions )

Thanks, they claim to have all the functions, variable speed, micrometer depth setting etc.
Definatly made in china tho, going for under $100 which puts one off, too good 2 b true!?

You might want to be real careful about the voltage, or its blue smoke time. With the 'Millers Falls' brand, it is probably intended for the US market & 110 volt wiring.

There are 240V Millers Falls offerings, check eBay.
