Customers say
Customers find the router works well and is powerful enough for their needs, offering good value for money with many features found on more expensive units. The tool is easy to use with clear instructions, has a nice compact size that fits nicely in hand, and comes with everything needed to start a project. The build quality receives mixed feedback, with some finding it solid while others say it’s cheaply made, and the adjustment range is also mixed with some finding it easy while others say it’s virtually impossible to adjust.

Works well for a lot of different projects
I’ve been using this router for three years now and it still performs like a champ. I use it to route edges, mortise out sections for hinges and bow ties, and make inlays.

Nice little router. Came with extras.
Nice little compact router. Ideal from door hinge installation on new doors. Nowhere near as bulky and heavy as my other plunge router.

Heats up really quick!
Gets very hot in a short time! Too hot to even touch!

Great hand router!
This router is perfect for small jobs and the home workshop woodworkers! I was pleased with the quality, good instructions for assembly and use.

Perfect upgrade for CNC router
I recently got a FoxAlien Masuter Pro table top CNC router. It came with a 52mm clamp for the included 60W spindle but it was a little under powered to route deep cuts in hard wood. It also came with a 65mm clamp to accommodate a larger router like the Makita or DeWalt compact routers. I really didnât want to spend over a hundred dollars on one of those and I saw this Avid Power. I never heard of this brand and it had gotten good reviews. For 64$ (with a 5$ off coupon), I figured Iâd take a chance.My Review:When I got it and opened the box, my initial reaction was, wow, this looks like a quality router. Build really nice, and nothing that looked cheap about it. It also almost looked like the Makita but red! It also came with a nice set of router bits, router edge and roller guides, dust hood, 3/8 and 1/4 collets, wrench and a nice soft carry case. And not to mention a pair of gloves. I really liked the fact that it had a soft start and only takes a second or two to come up to full power. And thereâs 2 LED work lights on the bottom that are a nice bonus. When I first powered it up, you could feel the power and ran smooth with no obvious vibrations. The variable speed claims it runs from 10K to 32K RPM which for my needs is perfect. Since the smallest collet this router comes with is 1/4â and no 1/8â collets were available, I was able to purchase a 1/4â to 1/8â adapter which worked out great for my smaller 1/8â bits. The router also fit perfect in the 65mm clamp that came with my CNC. After I installed the router on my CNC, I did a test carve that took about 30 minutes. This Avid Power router ran flawlessly and never skipped a beat. After it was done, I immediately put my hand on the router to see if it got warm or hot after running 30 minutes straight, and to my surprise, it wasnât even warm at all!My Thoughts:For the money itâs definitely worth buying. As for dependability, only time will tell (as with anything). Would I recommend it, YES, I think itâs a good buy with everything you get. If youâre thinking about upgrading your CNC router, or just having a nice compact router in your shop, then this Avid Power compact router is worth getting!

Very powerful
This is one powerful little router. I have put this thing to the test and has surpassed my expectations. Very good quality build as well. Love the slow ramp up instead of the instant jerk of other brands

I got interested in this mini router when I noticed the low price and the fact that it is a Makita clone. I’m very happy with my purchase. Not only is it well made, but you have access to many accessories made for the Makita router. It work very well. It is powerful, and it’s easy to use. If I absolutely had to find something to complain, I would say the bits included are of poor quality, but that’s expected. Get yourself a nice set of 1/4in bits, and you’ll be in business.I must also praise the customer service. I had a problem with the router I first received. I contacted them, and 3 days later, I had a new one at my door. I was very impressed!Would I buy again? Absolutely! Without any reserve.

I bought it and didn’t expect much. But I was truly surprised at how functional it turned out. It’s got a limited max bit size as I found out that a 1/2″ quarter round bit won’t fit – It seems 3/8″ round corner is the max it will do. It will cut 3/8″ deep 3/4 wide miter tracks on plywood quite easily in 2 passes – just with the supplied 3/8″ straight cut bit.Curious how it would perform I bought a router plate on amazon to use as a table router and it worked surprisingly well. In fact, I used this and a jig saw to cut out the exact insertion place for the router and plate. The unfortunate part was the aluminum plate turned out to be slightly bowed but that’s not the fault of the router.As a table router it ran much noisier than hand held. I turned the adjustable power knob from the 6 max to 4 and it was a lot better. It could just be the bench or the plate needs two more new bolts to secure to the table.I have to say, although it’s just a trim router and not a full sized one, I’ve had a lot of use of this – compared to the full sized plunge router, the fact that this small size is much more convenient for smaller tasks. For what I paid for this, I’m surprised how useful it has become.There are name brand palm routers that cost more – however considering this comes with functional starter bits, if you are new to this and are just starting to need a router to improve your DIY projects, this will be an exceptional first router that will take you a long way. Eventually you may need to cut that 1/2″ round corner and you’d need a bigger tool, but this is good enough for me. I liked this tool so much that I decided to get a 2nd fixed base avid power router and use that as the bench router while keeping this as my hand held.

Over the last week or so, I’ve been using this quite a bit. The unit itself seems to well made and holding up well all things considered. I haven’t tried other palm routers and got this one to see how they work and don’t know if they would hold up better. The fact that it does come with accessories to get you going right away is a HUGE plus and a great value. Longer cord is a great touch. The base itself seem very well made and doesn’t catch.Are there any nitpicks? One thing that I found is that you need to make sure the attachments are fastened quite tight or they will vibrate off. I found that the hole is a bit on the small side so you have to be careful of using larger bits. I lost the rubber tip on the clamping unit right away (nothing that some heat shrink tubing didn’t fix) and the clamp itself is a little hard to close though it does work very well.Some afterthoughts. There are a lot of other palm routers out there and I would say this is quite a good choice. It sits in the middle pretty well. In saying that, now that I’ve used it, I would have preferred two things – first is a rectangular base and next would be a transparent base though a clear one may not hold up as well.

Great little palm router for the money spent. Nice features and works very well. Bonus to get some router bits and other accessories with the purchase. Was able to use it right away without purchasing router bits. Variable speed works good but, best to use it with the higher speeds as it does get warm when running lower RPM’s. All said, it’s a good value for the money. Worked perfectly for my project.
