Geat Hand Held Router
This router works great.

It is very manageable, light weight, and has plenty of power for all hand held routering. It bogged down a little when I used a 1/2" straight bit going through red oak at a depth of 3/4" - it only then bogged down when I tried to move through the would quickly. I would much prefer to have this router bog down on the heavy tasks than have a heavy powerful router bog me down for all remaining tasks

Great Router!!!
This is a fantastic little router. Its perfect for routing trim,moulding, doors,and table tops. Its not very heavy which allows for easy one hand controll,and also good for free handing. If you want one you better get it before they are gone. I contacted Porter-Cable and this router has been discontunied!!!! 5 stars

The Mighty Mouse!
My father purchased this router in 1963 and used it in his cabinet shop until I inherited it in 1965. It has been the most outstanding power tool that I have ever owned. The brushes have been periodically replaced and last year a new power cord was installed but otherwise zero failures. I have four other routers but the model 100 is the most used. It performs 75% of all my bench level routing work and is very easy to handle in a large variety of routing operations. The excellent useable power,light weight and smooth performance in combination with the robust (all metal) design and long life make this tool a true asset to the pro woodworker or dedicated home craftsman.

Tough Little Router
I have two 100s, one 40 and one nearly 20 years old. They'll last forever if you change the brushes now and then. A good choice for light to medium duty general routing work and an exellent choice for a beginner to learn with.

A Nice Little Router
This router is perfect for use of dovetail and other small bits. It uses a 1/4" collet. Compared to other models, it is light in weight and easy to use. It uses the #1001 base which is inter-changeable with the model 690. Has plenty of power for its size. If you don't like to change collets, and can afford to purchase an extra router, this model will certainly do the trick.
