A Great Tool For Those Special Applications By BJO This tool has come in handy for those special circumstances that involve duplicating templates where working from an overhead position makes the operation very safe and easy to navigate. I installed a Porter Cable model 7518 motor housing into the unit which provides all the power you'll ever need. The unit works smoothly with my small compressor and once you get used to feel of the foot pedal you'll be able to control the up and down pneumatic movement of the unit with ease. You have to be careful and make sure you do not attempt to remove too much material in a single pass. I did break a couple of spiral bits before I learned my lesson. I rigged up a small section of 1.5 inch of PVC pipe that I strapped to the side of the router to serve as a dust collection intake. It works fairly well. I actually used the unit to also make a pair of custom decorative shutters by routing diagonal mortises in the stiles of the shutters, an operation that would be nearly impossible on a router table and probably require an intricate jig with a freehand router. With the overhead router, it proved to be a fairly simple milling operation. I would definitely recommend this machine as a solid performer. I am always finding more and more uses for it in my shop. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You get what you pay for By D Roddington This thing pretty much sort of works most of the time. My main beef is the bit doesn't really center on the pin because the hole in the table is too big for the .500 pins by about .005, thus pushing it to the rear when tightened with the set screw. This is a problem if you need precision results. Also the arm itself tends to wander around, and drift even further off center. Also the depth stop is imprecise to say the least, and all the air lines cracked and had to be replaced in the first year. I have put quite alot of time into trying to fine tune this machine and make it work, however, the limitations of its engineering prevent lasting effectiveness. There's really nothing else in this price range available, so if you must, you must, but don't think you're getting a professional quality machine. See all 2 customer reviews...
