Customer Reviews
Does everything I ask it to do
I've owned this tool for about 3+ years now. I bought it because of the price and it's reputation. I've used this router to make dados in cabinets pieces, plunge cut shelf pin holes, trim countertop edging. It's repeatable and stable with plenty of power. My only complaint is that the bits get stuck, but what router or shaper doesn't have that problem. Highly recommended.

Great value
Very strong runner, excellent features. Can't imagine getting more for the price than this.

Powerhouse
This router has incredible power and smooth operation. All the features work as they should, and it looks, sounds, and feels right to me. The VS and softstart are terrific features. My only complaint is that the throat is too small for 3" bits to pass through. You need to use a router table fence to accommodate this flaw, but otherwise, this thing's a trooper and a bargain.

Best in Class
I have an almost exactly opposite experience with Freud as that mentioned in the above review. I am on my second FT2000 and have always received great customer service the few times I needed service. I just sent it to Freud USA and they fixed it within a week, only charging me once for a repair. It's a great router: quiet and powerful with easy to reach controls. As a professional woodworker, I recommend it without reservation.

made in Spain......customer service?????
I bought this router new from a local retailer for about 2x what amazon is now selling it for. When I first used it the router was great, couldnt be happier. About 6 months of owning it I opened up the case and plugged it in....nothing....checked all the power, the switch etc.. and nothing... I called the service center to find out how to either fix it or have them repair it for me. The repair was to send it about 800 miles away at my cost, wait for 6-8 weeks as they repair it then pay for them to send it back to me.
So here I am with a large paper weight...But hey...it looks cool on my workbench!? ok...not really
1 star for being a great router to start with, only one star due to poor customer no-service
