I have had the 890 for a few years now in my router table and when I bought the CNC Shark Pro Plus HD Feb. 2012 I also got a free 892 Router with it. This router has been working very hard. I just had to replace the brushes in it, which were wore down to nubs. Other than that It has been a very good router. Now the 890 is in the Shark and the 892 is in the Router Table. Good Router.

I just bought another 892 router to use with the plunge holder that came with that came with the 893 set I purchased 3 years ago. The first one is in my router table attached to the table saw. They both work fine. I am using the plunge version with a Mortise Pal loose tennon jig that is a great help where bisquets are too big.

Great product! The soft start and variable speed are nice upgrades to the older P/C and the additional Hp is nice too. This is a powerful tool that does develop heat! if you enclose it in a table and don't provide adequate ventilation for it to keep cool, it will burn up.
The new dust extraction system for the fixed base is impressive. It carries away most of the dust and stops debris from being thrown up and out at you. Keep up the great work Porter Cable.
Advice to others who had problems: 1) Read the owners manual. 2) Keep the machine cool if enclosed in a table. 3) Don't buy cheap bits that break and fall into the housing.

I purchase the Porter Cable 892 Router package with the Rockler table top and the Lift FX. I have just made new raised panel doors and drawer fronts for our kitchen. The whole set up was a real neat package.

Done very well For a short time but caught fire and spit the brushes out of it . The motor is just made to go into a router table and be ran/use for any long period time

I have the 893pk it is also a lemon after 1 1/2 years of light use I have a piece of junk,that is not worth repairing. The armature is burned out, and speed control is also burned out. The cost of rebuilding is more than a router cost. I made a mistake buying another porter cable product. This my second second bad experience with porter cable and my last.
