Got the Freud FT 2000E I touted a while back. I had it's predecessor way back in 198x something. In a time when Porter Cable is now cheap shit, the Freud, for $179 has soft start, 5 speeds, one wrench collet lock and 15 amps.
It is a beast, though. I'll still be using my old Rockwell for rabbets and roundovers.
The base casting is even powder coated!
It still has the same nice height adjustment with a great big knob that sticks up above the motor. That's good news-bad news: it means you have to set it on the edge of the bench to change bits but the knob is real easy to find and turn under a router table.
I'm pretty sure, after John Atkinson finishes the measurements, it will be Class A.
And International Tool has free shipping.
