On drywall, that is- wonderful for making electrical box cut-outs. If you're going to do any serious routing here's the skinny: Don't bother with less than 2 horsepower, go 1/2" collet size and run only carbide bits. Burning comes from overheating the workpiece and that happens when the bit is cutting too slow; you either need more power or less cutting depth so that you can keep the bit moving at a proper pace. Like all tools a nice one is a joy to work with, a cheap one is not worth having.
