never heard of it but i just picked up the compact dewalt with the plunge base and fixed base and i would recommend it,a great little router.

 

This may not be all that helpful, but I didn't see much reason to invest in a plunge palm router myself. Instead, I bought a Ryobi palm router (just since I'm invested in their battery ecosystem) and a Bosch 1617EVSPK plunge router which is more of a midsize (2 1/4 hp). Really like having this combo and I can pretty much do everything I need.

My setup is almost identical. I have the Ridgid cordless trim router because of battery investment and a Milwaukee 2 1/4 hp with fixed and plunge bases. If i was free of the Ridgid battery shackles I would probably have gone with the DeWalt DWP611. The vacuum attachment and ability to add a plunge base if needed just makes it much more flexible. The Ridgid can have a vacuum port but it sticks straight off the side throwing off control. The DeWalt design looks much better.

 

The Bosch colt has been my favorite.

 

I have been putting off buying one for years, but if/when I do get one it will most likely be the Bosch Colt. I try to stay away from those chinese offbrands unless its something hard to screw up, like a deadblow hammer or something.

 

I have the makita 0700cx4. Love it.

 

I like my DeWalts

 

I have a Bosch Colt with both bases and am really happy with the performance. Try one in the 1.25hp version. I think you will like it.

 

Interesting, very interesting.

Lotta bang for the buck, certainly Chinese goods at their most Glorious. Based on the head shape alone, I'd give one guess who's router they are using here. Looks more professional without the yellow colored plastic.

 

+1 DeWalt…I love mine.

 

+1 Dewalt 611 kit with fixed and plunge bases…. never realized how much I would love the LED lights in there

 

I have the Dewalt DWP611 and it is great. The plunge base works very well. I use it for all but the biggest jobs.

 

+1 DeWalt. Did a lot of shopping before I jumped.

 

+1 Dewalt DWP611.
The led task light is really helpful for these old eyes, and is best part of using it.

Morphon is interesting, but there are several cheap compact routers in market. MLCS has Rocky 30 with fixed base on sale for $69 right now.
Looking at all the no-name 1.25HP compacts on Amazon, I see one commonality:
The head shape and plunge base adjustments look almost identical to Makita compact router?
hmm…
