    Good Router, smooth and easy to use. Nice features.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2016

    A good working router, smooth and easy to use. I am used to an old Type 1 Porter Cable Trim Router – sort of the ancestor to this and a great work horse. This model has nicer features and is easier to use. It may be a little lighter which is a plus. It does fit my hand better. It took a minute to realize the upper clamps on the base lock onto the adjusting ring and make it easy to adjust the height. Works very well to adjust the bit height. If you have a bit that needs to be installed with the base on there isn't much room. Pretty tight space but still workable. With the base off bits are easy to install. My only complaint, which is common with trim routers, is the hole in the base does not accomodate larger bits. Perhaps they intend it as a trim router only and not for every 1/4 inch bit you may own. But I modified the base to a larger hole and now all the bits I own in the Yonica 70 piece set can run on the router. OK … functionality over looks is tops. Mine came with a side fence that attaches easily and works well. Kept the router straight when adding a fluted bead on a 4 x 4 for a table leg. Only had it one day but first impressions are all positive.

    Nice but the access hole for the bits needs to be larger.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017

    Style: RouterVerified Purchase

    I am giving this only 4 stars because the hole in which the bit goes through isn't big enough for some of my bits. I corrected this by running one of my bigger bits through the hole to enlarge it.

    My favorite router in my shop is now this Porter Cable trim router.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024

    Style: RouterVerified Purchase

    I purchased this Router to replace my previous Porter Cable trim router (20+ years old). First take was the super accurate and super easy depth setting mechanism. The calibrated "dial in" micro adjuster is great and once set a quick snap of the toggle lock and you are good to go. I have not used the variable speed other than full speed, but I can foresee the use for it to slow the speed down for trimming laminates or machining plastic. The unit is small enough for one handed control and yet has plenty of power to machine full cutter diameter, 1/4" deep in red oak plywood making dado cuts. The size of the base plate is compact but still adequate to provide stability as you cut. The shape, with flats on each side of the base plate, make it very easy to use this router in a dado jig for instance.

    This little router is a beast, a real workhorse. Spent a few hours with it so far and love it. Highly recommended. The only complaint i do have is the variable speed dial will not hold in place while using and the router will loose RPMs. I just hold my thumb over it to keep it in place. I will use some tape going forward to allow me freedom to hold the tool any way i may need to.

    Hace tiempo que lo compre y lo he usado poco ya que solo es para proyectos caseros. Tiene buena potencia y con el control de velocidades ayuda bastante. Solo he notado que cuando se le exige por un rato este se calienta, nada grabe pero se siente el calor en la mano cuando está trabajando. Lo dejo reposar por unos 10 o 15 minutos y puedes seguir trabajando sin problema.
