i love this router. by far has enough power for any job. the only thing i don't like is that it comes with one wrench for bit changing. It uses an awkward button to hold the arbor still which is great in idea but impractical once you have used the router and accumulated any dust on the unit. It has a slow start which is great. i work as a cabinet installer and recommend this router to all of my apprentices. i also recommend the bosch 1-1/2 horse power trim router for tighter quarters.

Gone are the days when Porter Cable made quality power tools. This router is made in China and it is not up to the quality that Porter Cable used to make. I have four other older Porter Cable routers, and I will never get rid of them as long as they continue to operate. This model 892 router has so much run out on the spindle that it vibrates my router table. Don't waste your hard earned dollars on this piece of junk. You would be better off buying a used older model 690 or 691. I used this router for one day, and will end up selling it for a fraction of the cost on ebay.
