I was able to pick up a Porter Cable 2902, 19.2 volt router for $101.00 at my local Sutherlands. It came with the battery, charger and case. I have been smiling ever since!

Hi Scrollwolf. Never seen that router before. Looks good! I didn't realize there were any Sutherland Lumber stores around anymore. They were big here ( Council Bluffs Iowa and Omaha, Nebraksa) about 10 years ago until Menards came in town. I don't think there are any left now. I know they also owned some stores in the south under the name Cimmaron lumber. Anyway.....congrats on the new router.

Cordless is a wonderful thing. I expect an update in a month or so on how happy you are.

Neat! I didn't even know there was such an animal as a cordless router.

Thanks for shaking the dust off that corner of my brain.
Yes -- there are several here in Texas including one here in Fort Worth that I had TOTALLY forgotten about.

One more visit added to my to-do list for tomorrow.

And - no - I had never seen a cordless router either.
And yes it does sound like a great idea.

Hi scrollwolf

That's a neat deal, out of all the routers I have I don't have a battery powered one I see Bob and Rick use it all the time on the RWS show and I wondered how the battery holds up ,I see Bob & Rick pop in a new one all the time (battery) please write a review on it after you run it for a bit
Run Time on the battery etc. what size of bit you can push with it etc. and is it VS for the big bits ... ?

One other question do you know how much a extra battery runs, looks like one would need a extra one on hand...out of all the battery tools I have that's the biggest downfall with them.

You get the tool out, get the screws or what every you need and start to work then put in a screw or two then back to the work bench/shop for a battery that has a full charge to get the job done...

The only one that can do the job done on the 1st try most of the time is the Dewalt tools, drill and saw..etc. but the battery pack for the PC router looks about the same as Dewalt....but I'm sure the router is a hog for power....
