Had a look at the Quangsheng. Not impressed.
1) Thumbscrew wrong side of pillar.
2) Pinch adjustment only.
3) No depth-stop.
4) No screw-holes for adding a wider, wooden sole.
5) Base in two halves with no advantage.
Overpriced for a copy of small 271/722. Not as functional as vintage 71/71 1/2/071.
Why re-invent the wheel? Preston Routers were excellent. Copy those.
With today’s CAD-designing & CNC-milling we’re not talking foundry casting.
(And perhaps consider a decent wooden storage box, with compartments for cutters)
