One thing I liked, was the start button is built into the handle like my B and D router. It has a very slow start I mean slllooooowwww. But once it gets wound out it runs smooth and has plenty of power. It would be a great router for a table, it’s too heavy for table work, at least for me. It came with a modest amount of xtras and vertually no owners manual to speak of. I’t has 3 power settings. Which could be over come by getting a router power adjuster at Harbor Freight for little or nothing. I can’t tell you how its gonna last. but it looks well made and tight, It has a button too to hold down the trigger. It came with a rip fence and a couple other do dads and a 1/4 inch collet and 1/2 inch. But also fits 3/8s. On a scale of 1-10 I’d give it a 7 or 8. jockmike2 -- (You just have to please the man in the Mirror) Mike from Michigan - |

sorry Os, but go to their website www. O’malleys.com and you can take a gander. A few weeks ago they had their 3hp plunge routers on sale for 89.00 usd, what a deal, so I bought one just because they were so cheap. It turned out to be not to bad a router. I don’t know if they’re still on sale, worth checking out. mike, your bud, ps I can’t get my computer to download photos. -- (You just have to please the man in the Mirror) Mike from Michigan - |

Mike – here is a copy of a reply I posted on one of Dicks blogs. I was looking forward to getting one of these great deals I had read about. I have read a couple of blogs about the O’Malley router, back in October i visited thier website got some ideas for a couple of Christmas presents. Emailed them because I was having trouble with thier website not putting a drill in the shopping cart. The emailed me back that it would not be available until after Christmas. As December rolled around i thought i would check thier site again. I had a lot of difficultiy, it would take me to a different site. Because i had emailed them before I had thier support email address. Below is the email i sent them after finding thier tools onsale by someone else on Ebay. Are you only selling through the ebay store “Touched by a Rose”. When Response by O’Malley: Unfortunately we are not selling our tools online anymore. There are a few resellers on ebay, but they are not directly associated with us. We are transitioning to selling only other name brand tools on ebay. James I had also contacted the BBB of Texas, They did not have any record of this company. -- Joel Tille |
