I read some of the reviews about this product. Some reviewers were concerned with vibration. I will be putting this in my drill press and measuring runout with a runout gauge. Should there be a problem, I will turn it on a metal lathe to true it up. Based on what i have observed so far it runs smoothly and when it turns warm again this winter, I will do the runout test.The threads are clean and the collett adjusts smoothly. It is a great product for those who are working with large routers and planing slabs. I purchased a 3 edge planing bit to work in conjunction with this extension. The only concern I have is the bending stresses on the router bearings. I am using this on my Porter Cable 1.75 HP router. I will be cutting no more than an 1/8" deep until I find a good comfort level with this combination.I also have a Jet Shaper and have had problems using some of my pattern bits. Often with thicker slabs, the router bits are not long enough to allow the bearing to reach the full depth of the wood. This should solve that problem.You may not use this all the time in your woodworking, but having it when you need it is good. It is a good product and the price is right.

This works well, but i took away a star for a VERY small wobble that occurs when spinning up, but it tends to settle down at full speed.

It's big and chunky. Sometimes just a bit longer than I wish for the chuck, but it works great and I very solid. I use it often and haven't had any issues with it.It is a bit larger than the chuck on my router, so I have to use a separate crescent wrench, but that isn't a big deal. Great extension

Using it with a 2in spill board bit on 3hp router for a router sled and no signs of wear or stress that it might break

I purchased this extension for my router sled for leveling. I set everything up, put it in my router sled and when I turned it on it vibrated so bad that I couldn't let go of the router. I had to shut the router off with my chin. And by the time I got it shut off it had broken the bushing mounts in the router motor. At first I was sure I had set it up wrong so I grabbed my backup router. It did exactly the same thing, but I was ready to shut it off quickly this time. Very disappointed.

just finished router sled build but wanted flexibility for more depth and easier blade changes. Based on other reviews ordered this extension. It has about 30 hours of hard running using flattening bit and it seems rock solid. There is a little more vibration than without it but its hardly noticeable. Works fine and has not moved. would recommend the extension if your looking for one. I have not yet used it for fluted bit but not worried about its performance.

This is good router shank extender. It is made well and, most importantly, is "true" (no wobble). Excellent purchase for the price. I recommend it highly.
