I’ve been using a Veritas Router and it’s terrible, there isn’t enough surface when you don’t have the router on both sides. So for example, if you’re cleaning a tenon and have one side of the router on the board and the other is floating, the surface that is on the board is much smaller than the stanley which I really like. Also the angle of the wooden nobs is at a 45 degree instead of straight up and down (stanley’s have up and down), which the up and down style allows for one to easily put pressure on one side so the other can float. Also the head on the Veritas comes loose all the time (the head is exchangeable, unlike the Stanley which you have to change the whole bit, but it works better than the Veritas and doesn’t come loose).
