Reviews:
When it's time to step up to a bigger router, Porter-Cable's 7518
should be on your list of contenders. It has as powerful a motor
as you can find on a router and a reputation for accuracy and dependability.
It's designed to work with bits as large as 4 inches in diameter
and has electronic soft start and five speeds, to ensure that you'll
be able to use those giant panel cutters safely and smoothly. The
large bit capacity also makes it a great poor man's shaper when
mounted on a good router table. Like most of Porter-Cable's routers,
this model features their autorelease collet system, which does
a good job of eliminating the problem of frozen bits and the need
for rapping on the collet to remove them. Of all the routers we've
tried, Porter-Cable's are among those with the lowest vibration
and cleanest cuts. One thing we wish Porter-Cable would improve
on is the lack of a spindle lock, which means that two wrenches--and
potential knuckle wracking--are involved in bit changes. But given
that a router's real value is measured by the results it produces,
we'd still recommend the 7518 as one of the best routers available
and a great choice for any shop.
