The best "Hot Dog" around!
After using a Jacuzzi roll-around compressor inherited from my father for 27 years, I decided I needed a more portable unit. I tried a friend's "pancake" unit and it was so noisy, I rejected that option immediately. After reading most, if not all, of the 113 reviews written by others, i decided on the Makita Hot Dog. I was a bit fearful after reading about all the damage reports from others ...

Upgrade from 690
I bought this as an upgrade to my P-C 690. I had the opportunity to use a friend's 892 first. Two things I liked right away that made me decide to upgrade was the extra power which makes a big difference over the 690, and the placement and ease of the on/off switch. After using it for a fairly large job I did notice a couple of problems.
1. What my friend forgot to tell me is that he switched ...

Great router
This is a great router package that is suitable for hand use and in a table. As with most people, I've gotten the most use out of the fixed base.
PROS: Easy to use; accurate; depth adjustment on the fixed base is simple and repeatable; quite, smooth operation.
CONS: Depth adjustment on the plunge base is a little goofy--but that's it.
This is a great router that I highly recommend. ...

GREAT ROUTER - LOOK NO FURTHER
Being a do-it-yourself homeowner, over the years I've owned many tools. However, until purchasing this Porter Cable 690LR router, I had never owned a router before. I had always wanted one but could never justify making a purchase. Heck, my idea of fine woodworking usually entailed 2x4's, wood screws, and glue. But there came a day recently when I decided to take on the project of making ...

I bought my first Bosch Colt when they first came on the market and have used it extensively in my home shop and hobby woodworking projects.

I bought a second one recently because I was away from home and needed a router for a custom kitchen counter we were installing. I had always wanted the ...

As the Router Turns - Choosing a Kit... in a nutshell.
So...
I'll add my two cents. I too have wandered into the "choosing a router" soap opera.
I had been happy with my Dewalt 1621, until I tried to use a template guide. For some reason, the collet isn't remotely centered on the base plate - making the router useless with a template guide. There seems to be no way to adjust the 1621's base plate - so off I went in search of a new router.

Great little worker.
The versatility of this tool is great. I have used this tool for the past 3 years from zipping out holes (accompanied by an adapter) in drywall to trimming laminate, to mortising out hinge butts. Nothing but good recommendations for this tool.

This router is great for a first or only router because of its versatility. You can buy a plunge base if you need it, but i dont really care for it too much but it is cheaper than a new diecent router.The dhandle is a great feature it gives you alot more contol than just the two knobs found on most routers.1 1/2 hp is pleanty of power for most applications.The collet i dont mind but use real ...

First, although an occasional Amazon customer, I avoided all potential problems with shipping, backorder, and freight damage by the simple expedient of buying locally. I was able to look at Delta, Jet, Shopfox, and Steel City side by side for comparison. Oddly, I bought the one machine they did not have set up on display - the Powermatic PM701 - based on past experience with Powermatic ...

DeWalt - What more need I say?
This is a great little compressor for the money! I didn't need a real high volume unit, as I only plan to fill tires & blow dust out of my electronic devices - I have 19 pooches and there's a lot of dust "in these-here parts"! The compressor has performed flawlessly. I'm pleased!

A DIY Dream!!!
I couldn't be happier with this little saw - best bang for the buck by far. It cuts quite nicely and is not too messy (for a tile saw of course). I love the small size and the light weight - it really stores nicely out of the way between projects. It might not be a "pro" level saw but everyone who has seen my results with it would swear that the job was professionally done. Just use it like ...

The Bosch router provides smooth consistent power and cutting. It feels Slightly topheavy when not used in a "D" style base- but most routers are. I recommend getting the combo pack, unless you plan on dedicating its use to a router table.

Great dust collector for its size & cost.
I bought this collector to fit under my 8ft x 8ft work table in the center of my shop which the tall vertical versions won't do. It's networked to a Delta table saw and a Hitachi P12RA planar/joiner. Adding a remote start (one remote for each machine) makes it a real joy to use.
A previous reviewer mentioned that large chips coming off a shaper table will clog it. I'll add that chips coming ...

I compared this to the Jet Mini Lathe that seems to be the standard for this size lathe, and found this to be of comparable quality, and for $100 less? Great.
Solidly built, heavy enough to make vibration a moot issue. Not as nicely tooled or finished as the Jet Mini, but that doesn't affect the functionality. The Jet does have one higher speed, but who turns at speeds higher than 3200 ...
