Beginner's Basics
You might be suspicious of the low price on this Black & Decker plunge
model. But if you can get past your preconceptions, you’ll recognize this
entry-level package is a steal. The 12-amp router adequately cuts simple
edges and plunges, you get both ¼-inch and ½-inch collets, and an opening on
one of the plunge columns is shop-vac ready for simple dust collection. Best
of all: it includes an edge guide, an essential accessory that often comes
with an added cost.
