works great, I just don't use it anymore. $300.
If someone is interested, I'll dig it out and get you pictures of mine....its buried under a bunch of stuff at the moment.
Too big to pack up so local pickup only
here's a blurb about it

That looks like a great price on a very useful tool.

What did you use it for?

Basically, it has advantages when routing away from an edge. For things like a mortise or an interior recess, you can lower the router bit down (sorta like a drill press) and see what you are doing as opposed to lowering the work piece down onto a router bit sticking up out of a router table.

I found it at a garage sale and brought it home and never really used it for anything.
can also be used for pattern routing. pin goes in the table, and that follows the pattern while the bit from above routes out the new piece.
