Testing the SKIL 14 AMP Router Combo: Love at First Plunge?

Are two router bases better than one? SKIL sure thinks so — and honestly, this thing might be overqualified for the chaos in my garage. In this video, we dive into the SKIL 14 AMP Plunge and Fixed Base Router Combo with all the enthusiasm of someone who just smelled fresh-cut walnut.

In just the time it takes a dad to go to the bathroom, we hit:

🔧 Unboxing (no 45-minute box love story, promise)

👀 First Impressions (its got a lcd screen)

⚡ Testing on actual wood, not just air

🪵 Initial thoughts: The Good, The Bad, and The Dusty to come later

🛠️ Specs That Actually Matter
14 AMP Motor – It’s not here to play

2.5 HP Peak – Flexing harder than I do at the gym

Plunge & Fixed Base – Two bases, because why not

Soft Start – Smooth like your favorite playlist

Speed Range – 10,000 to 25,000 RPM (for when you’re feeling extra)

LED Lights – For when you can’t find your glasses

Ergonomic Grip – So your hands won’t hate you later

LIVE TOOL INDICATOR, ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK, SPEED CONTROL LCD DISPLAY - Basically, this thing is smarter than me, has better reflexes, and probably deserves its own parking spot. 😂
