Hi well that's good for you but I am sure someone will see the benefit in not having to finance a router mount etc.

also it sounds like you might have been pushing the kress router too hard as this is the first report i've heard out of about 20 that the kress has failed on them.

the only other report i can remember was of someone who was using it to cut aluminum when kress is branded as wood router..also one of the reasons I upgraded is that without any cooling jacket its not really a good idea to have your router on for continuous periods:S

why don't you return it to Germany and inform kress of your break down?
