We have always liked the Porter-Cable router, but they must go through our power tool review steps. The first thing we noticed was the case. When we opened the case, the router was a tight fit. We usually like a little space for bits or other objects that belong to the tool. We drove out to the router, packed everything, and tried it again. Of course, it fits back into the trap, but there is no room for a similar item.

First, we have but it couldheavier than the weight of 8kg. After picking it up, we found that it extremely easy because the machined aluminum housing and land arises from done. This is good news! You want an easier router, because you do not want to fight the weight of the tool. Heavier power tools create more if it, and this can wear out a user.

The 1 / 4 "and 1 / 2" is a nice feature, since most workers have both sizes of router bits. Putting the router bits in place is a breeze. The router comesare two keys that allow you to tighten or loosen the collet. That's a lot easier if you keep the router on the bench instead of the shortcut on the router. We were a little skeptical of the auto-release system that keeps bits from freezing in the mold. Who had ever been, white in this case, it is very annoying. After setting the router on, the rest was a breeze. There will be a T-bolts that allow you to adjust the height of the router, this is a breeze. If you use the router tothe right height, you can fine tune the height with the micrometer setting. This is just a ring that you turn with your hand. You can adjust it to 1 / 128 "

We started with a sharp bit and ran it through the jaw. The router was eating easily through. The router has just laughed at us. We went to a harder wood, oak, walnut and then. Ran it through this without heating. Yes, we have a sharp blade, but as a craftsman, you should know that they have an extremely sharp bladeimportant. Well, we were not with this test quickly, because the router is handling everything was easily bored. So we ran the router blade over a bundle of plywood, were blunted in the hope of the blade from the glue. Now, the router worked well on this test. The boring bits are not as fast as we had hoped, so we have also filed, boring and tried to retake the test. Through the jaws, and ran the router in order. Then the oak and walnut caused the engine a little to fight for air. We did a big piece, and hadto the deep. We have the pieces from the mold and it has no trouble with slide-out, so that the auto-release system seemed to work well, but we had not done testing it yet!

We have the piece back in and pulled them as far as possible. We then blow on the side of the bit to get it there jam. In addition, the router dropped directly on top of the bit and then there were a few blows with a hammer. We've done basically everything to make sure that did not come out the bit, even if no one intheir right mind would do all these things. Next, we solved the Collet, and this time something did not come out right. We shake it, and pulled with pliers, and thus the mill came from. This told us two things. First, under normal wear and tear, should release the car well-functioning system, and not remain stuck bits. Secondly, if the bit in the router, it stays in the router. You should not worry about them coming out, if you want it.

Allthe other tests we ran through the router with flying colors. We made the tool a couple of different times and kept well. The maximum amount that we have for the drops 7 feet. I was pleasantly surprised that the base of the plastic to crack.

With a few tricks, this router was very easy to turn into a table router for use on a table saw extension. Thus, the tool that is much more attractive.

After using the tool for a long time, our arms were good. We have notExperience vibrations what so ever.

Above all is our strength tool review on the Porter-Cable router EXCELLENT. We were very pleased impressed with this power tool. This router has great power and wonderful qualities. Each craft should be proud of this router in his wood shop.
