This set meets or exceeds my expectations! I didn’t know that the motor is a soft-start, and it’s so quiet while running that you really don’t need ear protection (until you start cutting, so ALWAYS use hearing protection). I used the fixed base in my router table and use the plunge base for normal.

I purchased this specifically to make mortise joinery in table legs. To date I have used the plunge base with the PC edge guide (sold separately). It works extremely well and the dust collection using my shop vac is excellent. The clear shield around the bit works very well to provide proper suction and remains visible through the cut. I was very impressed with how well the overall dust collection system works.

Love this tool! I like it when the features and how they work just make sense.

I am using this in my CNC machine and it performs flawlessly. The only downside . . . I wish Porter-Cable would sell the tool only without the handles and case for CNC applications.

Router plunge base very good. Fixed base depth control came broken. Control good bracket is cheap plastic, not good for daily use. Will need to return fixed base.
