I bought this router to put in a homebuilt router table that I was building. I couldn’t be happier. Lots of power and smooth operation.

tool works well. I could find no info as to whether it would fit my Craftsman router table. It didn’t. I had to drill new mounting holes in the table.

Excellent product. Wasn’t sure about the locking lever but I have really warmed up to it. Nothing like a Great power tool. They shipped it to my house faster than if I had picked up in store…amazing. Thank you Home Depot

As numerous online reviews have stated, one of my top cap screws sheared off at the router body immediately. With some duct tape I was able to hold the cap in place for the day to finish my job before returning it. The router worked great, plenty of power for the very large cut I was making. I have been using Porter Cable tools for 40+ years with two smaller routers and a porta-plane still running strong. Sadly the Chinese takeover of manufacturing gives these kind of results. I liked the router’s ability but would recommend immediately replacing the cheap screws with grade 5 or 8 before using. Small effort for what I believe is still a great router.

This router has been the standard for more than 40 years. It has all the features. Good power for its size. Accurate, high resolution depth adjustment. The easiest bit change technique ever made. The motor can be removed from the base just by loosening the base clamp and unscrewing the motor. The top of the motor is flat, allowing one to stand it upside down to change the bit. Easy change of the collets. Every kind of accessories like guide bushings and router inserts work with this router by default. There is a really nice D-handle base that works with this motor. The same collets for this router work with the 3-1/4 HP fixed base and plunge routers (also best in class rounters). There is one big problem with all Porter Cable (corded) routers: they are no longer manufactured. So sad.

This is my second router the other being another major manufacture. Porter cable name is stuck in my head from years of watching This Old House. Tools work great I have several other pieces for use in my wood shop. No issues at all. Wish it came with a case of some sort to store it in.
