This is interesting. I wonder if the the D handle dust control works, but I am more interested in peoples experience with this motor. It is soft-start and electronically controlled. I have no hands on experience with this technology. I have a 1/2" router that just bit the dust rather dramatically. Something just went out. I think bearings, but the bit started gyrating and creating enough momentum that it was all I could do to hold on and switch it off. After a chain saw I now vote 2hp routers and among the most dangerous tools I own.
That said this Porter Cable 0891 looks interesting and I would like to know if this auto sensing electronically controlled technology is ready for prime time. I need to replace a 1/2" router and this seems a good choice for a hand held, never gonna see the bottom of a router table, option.
