Amazon.com Review
There's no tool like a router for edging, trimming or cutting. Skil's new 2-horsepower fixed-base router can perform all the functions needed in a home workshop or on the job site while drawing only 10 amps at full RPM. The 1/4-inch quick-change collet accepts a wide range of bits and cutters. The Skil 1815'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 to insure more accurate cuts. Accepts Skil's 91018 18-Piece Carbide Router Bit Set as well as most other brands of 1/4-inch bits.

Ideal for woodworkers, carpenters and cabinet makers. --C. Dwight Barnett

Applications: Use the Skil 1815 for making cabinets or shelves, decorative inlay work, manufacturing wood trim for cabinets, rooms, doors or windows, mortising hinge plates or inlays, dovetailing cabinet drawers, edging countertops
