I'll be looking for a router lift motor soon. The PC7518 is obviously the standard choice, and I'm all for that except for one thing. I'll say this as nicely as I can: Porter Cable quality has gone into the toilet the last few years. Their routers have gone from behaving like my old, USA made router (almost 20 years old and still going strong) to being questionable out of the box and needing bearings in 6 months.
So tell me about the 7518. Have they managed to at least keep THAT particular motor on track, or should I just skip PC altogether and go somewhere else? If so, where do I go?
