Amazon.com Review
Here's a great choice for the serious woodworker, whether in freehand applications or mounted in a table. Porter-Cable took a second look at their popular 7529, 2-horsepower plunge router, and thus came the 8529. The name's not the only thing that's changed though. An above-the-table adjustment system works with a hex-shaped dial that reaches through your router table top and allows for adjustments as precise as 1/128 of an inch. A badly designed power switch has been replaced with a smart toggle switch, positioned just where it ought to be. We like the unique depth-stop mechanism, accessible without even taking your hands off the handles. For all its power, it's relatively quiet in a world of ear-piercing routers, another reason it's popular with home woodworkers. Two collets give you the choice of 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch bits, and the 2-horsepower motor won't whine no matter what you're routing. The body rides smoothly on the tubes, and ergonomically, it's a dream. Chip collection is good, too. This baby will meet all your routing needs. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
