The Porter-Cable 895PK 2-1/4 HP plunge/fixed base router with router table height adjuster. Soft start tames the voracious 12 Amp motor so there's no twist at startup. It operates at variable speed ranges from 10000 to 23000 RPM with electronic feedback. Both bases are among our favorites in the routing world for their ease of control and fit in hand. The plunge base rides smooth as silk and the locking mechanisms and depth turrets area right. Dust is collected right through the base, too, for a clean sightline. Another nice feature: For safety's sake, there's an automatic bit-changing power lock-off.
