Earlier yesterday, BuilderBill on the forum asked me what I thought of the MFK-700. I love this router for its dust collection and that it's so nimble. Most small routers like this don't seem to have a very big or stable base, but this router has a very nice wide base. Dust collection is its star feature, though, as I demonstrate in this inpromptu video I shot last night while routing some small cove molding. The molding will go between the tread and risers of my staircase. Yes, the staircase from 2 years ago. Been busy. :)
I have some issues with the MFK-700 mostly with its bit capacity when used with either horizontal base (0 or 1.5 degree). There are a few other issues that need work-around, but nothing spectacular. I'll be blogging about some changes I'm making to my MFK-700 to work around these issues once the necessary parts arrive within a couple weeks (backordered, -sigh-).
So here's 9 minutes of routing footage to cure your insomnia :)
(apologies to BuilderBill that I said BuilderBob on the clip!)

Naturally, I like woodworking as a hobby, but an ice hockey tournament will easily get me out of the shop :)

That dust collection is pretty incredible.
(seeing is believing.)
And, it will be interesting to see how your changes work-around the capacity issues.
Thanks Paul.
