The Kobalt router is balanced badly the top heaviness is tough to work with. Even a cheap plug in router has plenty of power for trim work and is so much easier to handle. Or if you’re cordless only. The dewalt router is very well built.

Oddly Specific Billboard :

Just make a larger plate for the base.

Ryan Fitz :

Take that plate off, use it as a template to make a larger base.

While a larger base is possible (not hard to do a DIY solution either...think Shopnotes has an article for the Bosch or Dewalt one that would work... Save up a bit and get a full sized plunge router. In addition to being more stable, it is much more versatile. These small ones are really being stressed doing most of what people do with them now, and that leads to issues with the motors and bearings. Your little break was a good thing to keep from cooking it (it was more stressed than you were😅)

Heck out Woodgrain Junkie, the make really nice router bases
