Far too complicated. I bought mine about 4 years ago. I tried it a
little to start with, but haven't touched it for over 3 years.
Plus since operations take place underneath the router, you can't
see what's happening.

I was close to buying one a while back. I had the chance to use one to
try it out and the above -cannot see whats happening - is exactly why
I did not buy.

Oh yes, one more thing came to mind: you have to attach it to a wall.
This should be fairly substantial (not plasterboard/drywall). I found
that plugs were not sufficient - the unit pulled loose as it's quite
heavy when loaded with a BIG router. In the end I drilled right through
and used threaded rod, which was secured on the outside with nuts and
washers. Kinda makes it difficult to move around the shop.
