Hi Router

Just my 2 cents

It's not a big deal, so many variables come into play because it's a single point cutting device,,unlike a table saw, each time you remove the motor from the motor base it will change, each time you adjust the settings on the bit it will change , each time you use a diff.bit it will change ,so many variables,the Colt can only take on 1/4" shank bits that's to say 1 1/4" max bit diam. plus because it spins at 8,000 rpm to 28,000 rpm's it will not make a hill of beans if it's out of wack by .010...but on the other hand if it's out by 1/16" well that would be a big deal...but I'm sure it's not ...and I'm sure the QC dept. would catch that error and would put it back for rework or in the junk box....or close the line down until they found the error...they don't need routers coming back to give them a bad name..

So, I would say either they had the same batch of routers at lowes with the same problem. Or no one is testing the same way that I do.
Use a long router bit and test it from all 8 angles.
