Put in Woodpecker router table. Runs smoothly and does the job. My other router is a Festool, so fit and finish can’t compare (so I gave 4 stars) but then Festool costs more than double. The PC for the price is a good choice for a basic router. I’d recommend getting a variable speed like this one.

I now have three routers. One is an old Sears router. The other two are the Porter-Cable 2.25 HP 890 series. I like the Porter-Cable very much. I use them to construct cabinets an dovetail drawers.

This is a well made, American made, router strong enough to handle hard woods without complaint. I would buy it again. One little irritation: the speed control dial is really difficult to turn. Perhaps it will improve with age.
