Purchased for my new Jessem lift works great

As always Porter Cable products bring the best performing router I could ask for. I have many PC routers and have never had problems that I have had with other brands. This one is a solid workhorse. Great for table mount.

I purchased two of these routers. I am still in the process of setting them up. One is installed in a horizontal table. Because of its ease of removing the motor unit from the base, and ease of adjustment, and its ability to work at various speeds, this is theperfect router for this table. The other router is for a standard router table. It is held underneath by a manual lift unit. The baseis not used for this. Again the power and variable speed will make this a perfect router for this application. The lower speed willbe critical for larger router bits.

This is the best router I ever owned. Many excellent features that makes this router top of the line. Fine depth settings, Spindle lock, single wrench for bit changes, you can use 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. shank bits, variable speed, I especially love the smooth start and stop. It gradually picks up speed instead of that instant jolt. What I didn’t like- it says Fixed Base Router “Kit”. What kit? Everything is extra. Like the Template Guide, Edge Guide, Roller guide. I also bought another router, different brand, but it came with all those guides included. So why is Porter-Cable using the word “Kit” when this is a bare bone router. But I still love this router.

I prefer Porter-cable over DeWalt DW618. Used both routers for same jobs, Porter-cable is quieter, better speed control, & power switch. Used the same 3/4″ rabbeting bit w/ 1/2″ shaft in both routers, DeWalt had a lot of vibration. Easy to make own router table, has knob to adjust from above table.

Plenty of power and super smooth rotation

Works well, high quality. I have other Porter Cable tools so I had a good idea of the quality. My only negative so far is the speed dial is a little difficult to adjust. I like the height adjustment and clamp system to secure the motor. The soft start motor is a very good idea for a hand held tool.

Runs smooth, gradual spin-up works great, solid product. Comes in a nice carrying case. My only complaint is the depth adjustment is pretty sloppy and tricky to get an exact adjustment to the 1/16th of an inch.

A good price for exactly what I was looking for.

I use this router almost daily in my shop. I have used it in sleds, with a router table, and in a router wing off of my table saw which is its current home. This router has a great height adjustment feature. I have owned several routers and this exceeds expectations.

Excellent router powerful too, I bought a porter cable router about 25 years ago still have it, never had a problem with it, that’s why I bought me this other one of the same model

I’ve been using the 8902 Porter Cable routers for over 20 years. I currently have 3 and will purchase my fourth today. I have other routers and none of them compare to the quality and reliability of the model 8902.

this is a simple and intuitive tool. Easy to set up and use. It appears to be well constructed and it, indeed, met my expectations.
Jefferey Bartell (verified owner) –
Very good

I have another Porter Cable router exactly the same and need another to cut set-up time down. I purchase the best even if it cost a little more.
Emmet Carter (verified owner) –
This router is awesome. The slow start and variable speed make it a joy to use. I really like the additional power switch located close to the handles. The included base plate does not accept template guides so you will need to purchase a different plate (about $8) it you will be using guides.

Using this in new router table. High quality and nice finish.

Easy to userr

Very quiet router. I’m using it in a router table and it is working fine. I’ve been able to change bits from above.
