Additional Porter-Cable 0891 2-1/4 HP GripVac Router Information
|
There is nothing—-and we do mean nothing—-not to love about this router. Remember the old 690 series? Porter-Cable's taken everything that was good about those machines and brought in all the improvements we all wished they'd make. We were never crazy about having to turn the entire router body to raise and lower it in a table, and voila! The above-the-table adjustment and bit changes are reality. There's a macro adjustment for gross changes, then you fine-tune with the micro knob. Bravo. We were surprised, too, how much quieter this model is than the 690, without sacrificing any power at all. We admit a little skepticism at first about the heralded GripVac handle, but now we must also admit to admiration. It's a smart design that collects dust incredibly efficiently and offers superb control at the same time. And OK, we also admit that it's fun to use.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

What Customers Say About Porter-Cable 0891 2-1/4 HP GripVac Router:

There is a coarse adjustment along with a micrometer fine adj. At the 16.5K speed no ear muffs were needed. This thing is SWEET. that can be made with only 1 wrench. The first startup was used with a freud T & G set. knob. The second big plus is how QUIET this router is.
The 890 series is remarkably quiet. The grip-vac handle acts like a new fangled D-handle. I have a pc690 and it is really loud. One of the 2 big plus's is that through the router table adj. Any 3/16" nut driver will work just fine. The slowest setting was extremely quiet where as the highest setting was still quiet when compared to the pc690. And it ripped a 1/4" groove in white oak at the 16K speed setting without a burp.
