I had an Erbauer briefly before taking it back. I got it to reshape some Ipe decking planks but I didn’t bother to find out how to use it properly. I was gouging off 1cm of 2cm thick hardwood at a time. The vibration was something to behold. At some point the router bit fell out, fortunately not while it was running. The experience scared me so much I returned it. In hindsight, in proper use, it’s probably a great router. I have since learned how to use a router properly and have a Bosch palm router.

I've been asked about an Xmas present and was wondering about a router as I still haven't sorted out my outhouse/workshop so a track saw seems like a waste - as well as possibly being a bit expensive.
Any thoughts on this erbauer?

Anything else I should suggest looking at?
My main use would be cutting slots in things, and maybe level a couple of things using a jig. A plunge one also appeals as I assume you can use it to drill vertically straight holes.
Cheers
