More research still says that brushes are, indeed, covered by the Lifetime Service Agreement. Ambiguity is construed against the drafter, so you ought to get those brushes for free, if everyone plays by the rules. That means you have to register for that Lifetime Service Agreement.
YES with the right bit or radius bit
This is a very nice router, but it has it's limitations due to its compact size and low amperage draw. It is akin to asking a 4 cylinder car to pull a house trailer. Sure, both will do the job for a short while, and both will suffer from lack of power. This router WILL edge dress oak and maple boards, but unless you take 1/16" bites, this router WILL get very hot due to brush arcing. This router is designed as a one handed medium duty tool.
Yes
It comes with a soft sided case and yes it comes with a guide and it works well.
Any brand 1/4" shank router bits should fit this router just fine.
Collet size is 1/4 inch
Yes
That is what I use one of mine for,exclusively
Not that I am aware of or I would have purchased it.
