Additional Porter-Cable 892 2-1/4-Horsepower Router Information
|
Ultra-powerful yet super-quiet, the Porter-Cable 892 router offers smooth, reliable operation at a variable speed between 10,000 and 23,000 RPM. This handy tool lets you make changes--like rotating the height adjustment knob, locking and unlocking the motor from the mount, and locking the spindle--all from right above the table. Great for woodworking projects, the 892 features a 2-1/4 HP motor, an auto-spindle lock that allows for quick and easy one-hand bit changes, and a bypass control that's ideal for both larger adjustments and taking out the motor. Made for use with many of the 890 and 690 series router bases, the 892 comes with a CD-ROM that breaks down the process of constructing a router table into clear, concise steps; a versatile carrying case with extra bit and part storage; a generously sized, transparent sub-base; 1/4 and 1/2-inch self-releasing collets; and a handy wrench. For added peace of mind, this tool also has a 1-year limited warranty.

What Customers Say About Porter-Cable 892 2-1/4-Horsepower Router:

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. i love this router. It has a slow start which is great. 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. 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.
Very pleased with the router, excellent adjustment feature, and smooth start. Would highly recommend this router.
This model 892 router has so much run out on the spindle that it vibrates my router table. Gone are the days when Porter Cable made quality power tools. Don't waste your hard earned dollars on this piece of junk. 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. 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.
It runs smooth when I want it too. That's all I need from this tool.
I recently purchased a Porter-Cable 2 1/4 variable speed router from Amazon.com. In both cases my equipment arrived in record time and in mint condition.I bought the P-C router to use in my router table where I employ an older router lift which required a smaller diameter motor than most of the more recent industrial strength routers--but I needed the variable speed to handle free-hand routing of curved pieces (which I have learned--by painful experience--work much better when the router speed is dialed down). It was only the second time that I had purchased a piece of woodworking equipment from Amazon.com (my first purchase was the Lonnie Bird set of CMT crown molding router bits). Although I have been a woodworker for more than 20 years I have previously always purchased from a specialized woodworking site.In both instances that I purchased from Amazon, Amazon priced the same item significantly cheaper than the specialty woodworking sites. The model 892 fit my router lift and the slower motor speed helped me do the job more safely and with less stress. I am very happy with this purchase.
