What is the collet designation. I want to use a 1/8" shank cutter, what standard collet would I buy.
Asked by TONY April 17, 20201
AnswerI am unable to answer your question because I don't use my trimmer for its intended use. Mine is set up for a special application with a different base plate and a end mill. Try doing an internet search for 1/8" collets compatible with Porter-Cable.

Asked by mp August 24, 20181
AnswerFor working with Corian, you will want to use a bigger router. The ideal router for working with Corian is going to be in the 2-3 HP range. Please contact your local Home Depot or PORTER-CABLE at 1-888-848-5175 for further assistance.
Do they offer a plunge base for this?

I decided to build a 12' x 10' entertainment unit that needed 4 36" x 48 " laminated panels. I hadn't done any laminate work in many years so I needed some new tools. This purchase was awesome, its light weight, powerful and comfortable to use.

Fine little trimmer/router. Easy to handle.
June 18, 2020
Customer review from portercable.com 
This is a fine little trimmer/router. It's compact and fairly quiet. I've been using it to mortise some door hinges. It's much easier to handle than my full-size router. It has enough power to drive a 3/4" mortising bit without trouble.
I like the clear plastic base; it gives a decent view of the work area. The only improvement I can recommend would be a built-in LED light.
I see a review where there is a complaint that the height lock doesn't stay snug. Mine is just fine. If yours is loose, read the instructions! The instructions clearly describe how to adjust the locking collar.
On the whole, it's a bit better than I expected for the price.
I am very happy with this router. It’s the perfect size and power for small jobs.

June 2, 2020
My search for this router was for the multiple speed router. Your site switched the number of this item and I did not discover it until I was using it and realized I could not change the speed. Very disappointed that the switch was made. I input the correct number in my search but your site decided to switch items on me.
