I'm addicted to laminate trimmers. I just bought another one on Ebay. It is here, the FT750T. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310045880614&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=021
Very powerful, made in Spain and pretty cruddy reviews on Amazon, but I wanted another offset base trimmer to dedicate to a flush-cut bit. Since this was cheaper than the PC base alone, I figured I'd go for it. I really wish Ridgid would come out with an offset base for their laminate trimmer because it is my favorite of the ones I own.
Anyway, it is heavy, but feel solid. There were no real instructions in the case. The offset base also has a different size collet nut so the two stamped wrenches that came with it don't work. If I paid full price for this it would be vexing, but I can deal with it since I got it at a steal and it is just for convenience, not necessary to my day to day. It does mean I have not been able to test it yet though.
Anyone else have experience with Freud power tools? I'll update as information becomes available.
