Porter-Cable 893PK Router Package - Rockler Woodworking Tools
The biggest problem that I have had with the router is that when it is mounted under the router table, the dust created when routing gets between the base and the motor making the it almost impossible to make adustments up and down and/or getting... Soft-starting, Variable speed from 10,000-24,000 RPM with advanced electronic feedback to maintain constant cutter speed under load Low noise vibration Above-table bit height adjustment, motor release, collet and bit access, and spindle lock for... Large opening, see-through sub-base with quick-change release for tool-less changeover between router bases and router tables Multi-function carrying case with bit and accessory storage. Screws have vibrated out of it. I still like the router and the concept of being able to adjust bit height (although it isn't accurate) from above the table, but if I hade to do it again, I would have bought TWO purpose built routers. First, while the ability to switch from plunge to fixed base is nice, be aware that the case of the router can get full of sawdust when used under the table and make it VERY difficult to remove. I do like the router but did have a problem right from the start, the cast aluminum clamp that is used to tighten the motor in the base wallowed out right away and I could not get replacement part for it. They have been on back order now for over... I wanted to use the plunge base for my router table that I am building but it just does not have the clearance. It has been in a router table right from the start. vibration will back it out when in a router table. It is a good value for someone (like me) who thinks they can only afford one router. This grip method is often preferred when using the router on dovetail machines with repetitive front-to-back movements. I purchased this router about a year ago. I bought this router package about a year and a half ago. This is the first router I have ever owned. Detaches into a pedestal to place the router between cuts. Dust insert mounts inside the base by removing the sub-base and attraching between the base casting and plastic sub-base. Secondly be aware that you have to buy two DIFFERENT accessories to use vacuum on the fixed base and plunge bases, which adds to the cost. For maximum dust control and additional hand gripping versatililty, the standard base handle is replaceable with the GripVac handle (#26820). I remedied this problem by purchasing a hight quality lift from Incra Tools, the rounter with this lift is a dream to use now and I am very happy with it. No complaints about the motor or any issues other the parts availabilty and the dust getting... One plunge and one fixed base.
