Description
The Porter-Cable 3-1/4 HP Five-Speed Plunge Router has a 5-speed, 15 amp motor that maintains constant speed under load and can handle any task. Designed with 100% sealed ball-bearings, the bottom bearing in the motor is closer to the workpiece, giving it the least vibration and run-out. Precision-machined aluminum motor housing prevents heat build-up and router bits won't become frozen or stuck in the collet due to an exclusive auto-release design that frees the collet from the arbor as the locking nut is loosened. The convenient plunge mechanism with fully enclosed springs allows easy entry of bits when cutting into the surface of a workpiece and the plunge depth of up to three inches can be easily controlled with a 6-position step turret and depth rod. Great for the production shop, for countertop fabricators or furniture makers, this router is easy to use with a soft start for safer startup and when used in a router table, can also act as a shaper.
