The spring action in the plunge is so strong that the locking mechanism will sometimes un-engage and come flying back up. I've eaten into several templates this way. Its also just alarming to have this thing lunge out of the plunge back at you while still cutting.
I sold all my old porter cable routers and plunge bases and have regretted it ever since. I have a cordless small dewalt router and it kinda stinks too. its so top heavy I feel uneasy using it.
Also, the dust collection thru the post is non-existent. it does nothing.
I"m waiting for the epoxy to dry on my damaged template to see if I can salvage. I thought I'd not just yell in my garage but yell to an actual audience.
