This plunge router is a larger version of the M8V and has many of the same features, along with the addition of a soft-start motor. The sliding power switch and plunge-lock lever is not spring-loaded, but it is easy to access. The motor is loud and has a high level of vibration. Yet for a 3-1/4-hp router, it can handle only a 2-in. dia. bit. The plunge depth is 2-1/2 in., but the spring action is good and has plenty of strength. A depth-adjustment knob is included for use in a router table; the package also comes with a solid accessory fence and a template guide and adapter.
