The Porter Cable 100 router is a duplicate of the original Rockwell router, after the company split into Delta for stationary tools and PC for portable tools. It is as BJ said not powerful enough for working with hardwood but you should be ok with pine. You can use a 1" hole saw for your opening. It will be close enough for most jobs. I own one of the original Rockwells and it is mounted as an overarm router. It's a nice little machine as long as you don't ask too much of it.
