Description of Skil 1825 10 Amp 1/2-Inch Hybrid Router
There's no tool like a router for edging, trimming or cutting, and there's nothing like a plunge router for accurate detailed scrolling or inlay work. Skil's new 2-1/4 horsepower combo router comes with interchangeable fixed and plunge bases (can plunge cut up to 2 inches when using the plunge base). The variable speed motor can perform all the functions needed in a home workshop or on the job site while drawing only 11 amps at full RPM. The 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch quick-change collets accept a wide range of bits and cutters. The Skil 1825's Micro-Fine Depth Adjustment makes bit depth adjustments fast, easy and accurate while the soft-grip handles are ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use. The wide base opening allows for quick and easy bit changes plus the Built-in Work Light illuminates a pattern or an outline for more accurate cuts. Accepts Skil's 91018 18-Piece Carbide Router Bit Set as well as most other brands of 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch bits. Ideal for woodworkers, carpenters and cabinet makers. Applications: Use the Skil 1825 for making cabinets or shelves, decorative inlay work and for sink or fixture cuts in a wide range of countertop materials, as well as for mortising hinge plates or inlays, dovetailing cabinet drawers or edging counter tops.There's no tool like a router for edging, trimming or cutting, and there's nothing like a plunge router for accurate detailed scrolling or inlay work.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skil 1825 10 Amp 1/2-Inch Hybrid Router
Customer Review: Not a contractor's router, but a great deal for its price!
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price and the weekend wood worker the Skil 1825 can't be beat. As several others have noted this router does have a few irksome quirks. The trigger lock takes a little playing with to get it set, but as I only use this when the router is mounted in a table, I need only to set it once and then I control the on/off of the router with the table switch. The over size chuck wrench is cumbersome for reaching in to tighten the collet while with the other hand you are holding in the spindle lock. The height adjustment control takes a little working with and does not operate as smoothly as one might hope.
The base plates and the plunge work great. With these excellent options one can use the 1825 as both a hand held plunge or fixed base router or remove the base plate from the fix base and mount it into a router table. This allows one to use this one router in all three different ways. Visibility is very good with the led lights providing light right where one needs it most. The variable speed control is great and the 2.25 hp motor provides all the power one needs for most applications. And with the money one saves compared to similar and more expensive routers from other companies, you can invest the savings into quality jigs and good high end bits (this is where the wood meets the road) which makes the most difference in the quality of the cut that a router delivers. This is not a contractor's router, but for light jobs around the house (shelves & bookcases) and the weekend wood worker, I have not found a better deal for the price.
