Great router. Just bought a second one for my plunge base. THD was $15 more than online but I needed it that day.

I had to scramble to purchase a router while working on a woodworking project. I have several Porter Cable tools and have been very happy with them. I didn’t need a heavy duty router (already have one) but a smaller one for smaller/lighter load work. I really liked the height adjustment and locking mechanism. Compared to my old router, a Craftsman, the PC was much easier to adjust. I was disappointed, however, that the base did not match up with the holes in my small router table. I thought the hole patters were an industry standard….I guess not. I got around the problem by drilling new holes though.Overall the router has worked great and is consistent with Porter Cable quality.

I am an 11th grade high school student. The Porter router is the only router brand used in my wood working class at school. That just goes to show that it’s easy enough to use and to control that high schoolers who are just learning the trade can use.

Nice tool, light weight but stands up to my rough handling. Good value.

This is a gift for my husband. .It is a replacement ..He has used this Porter – Cable router for years..When it came time for another..He wanted the same kind.

A very smooth operating router, easy handling. Using it for grooving particle board 1/4 in deep and 3/4 inch wide. Set up with a 3/4 inch straight bit and guide it has not jumped or grabbed material. I will most likely be buying more just like this one. I like the 1/2 inch collet the best. Easy to change and to adjust.

Needed a 1.75-2HP router to make Warmboard channels for a radiant heat installation. Porter Cable has the router with baseplate to fit the collet for Warmboard templates. All went as planned and in much better time than trying to jury rig things with an older router.

I have owned one for about 2yrs. Works great, no problems with it. Good 1/2 router for the price.

This small, inexpensive router is a nice router to buy if you don’t really have a need for the bigger routers. There are adapters for 1/4 and 1/2 collets. A nice feature is the ability to rotate the base and change the plunge depth. My knock on this router is that I had to take the handles off in order to attach to the bottom of a router table, and when I went to put them on, they never went on tightly again. If I tightened the screws too much, the cheap plastic in the handles begins to break.

I miss the micro-adjusting knob on the side like on my various other P/C routers. I bought this router specifically for the Leigh dovetail jig but it is a bit awkward to get it adjusted to the specific depth. Maybe i’ll have to switch and use another router and relegate this one to bench jobs.

The Porter Cable 11 Amp 1.75 HP Fixed Base Router Kit has lived up to my expectations. I mounted it on a router table and used it to fashion a piece of head casing trim that has #3 profiles, a bullnose at the top, a bead in the middle and a cove at the bottom. It performed admirably.

Difficult to change bit with wrenches provided. Power switch is small and awkward. Collet is low quality.
