So far I am pleased with the router, it is my second router. What a difference from a 1 1/2 hp router with a 1/4 collet. The soft start feature is nice and the router works very well. The above table adjustment is a nice feature also.

I have been a DIY'er for over 20 years now, so I'm no novice to power tools. I have worked many different routers, and I must say that the PC 895 is an excellent tool. I find it hard to put it down, since the first day I turned it on, till present. I enjoy every minute that it's in my hands. Thank you PC for making such a great router. I'm currently looking forward to purchasing a second one to leave in my table and have one ready to use for when I need it. I find that the hands-on micro adjustment is a wonderful addtion makes it more user friendly and just an over all great tool.

I bought the 895 combo primarily for the table top adjustment capability. The micro adjustment is great. I did have to retro-fit (drill and counter-sink) my router table to accomodate the adjustment device which was a simple task. Save countless time when routing raised panel rails and stiles and panels. The soft start and variable speed features are great. All in all, a super package.

I own a few routers that I bought when I was first starting out ... so you could say I've leared through trial and error ... although my wife would say it was mostly error ... most of the time something would happen and when I went asking around to find out why it happened ... the answer always seemed to be ... you need a better router. Well I solved that problem when I bought the Porter Cable 690 series and it quickly became my workhorse ... I was still using the others for quick and easy jobs from time to time as a matter of convenience ... until I got the 895. Now, my first router (a Craftsman) is actually a corless paperwieght on my desk ... I would sell it, but I wouldn't wish that nightmare on my worst enemy.
Not only does this router have the power to deal with any job ... the Porter Cable routers have been engineered and put together better than any of the other routers I own or have used. I have a few which have similar features, but nobody has pulled em all off on one router quite like Porter Cable ... and the micro-adjuster is a great help when you're working on the table.
