I looked back at this post and felt bad about the way I responded. I didnt mean to come across as a smart ass. I feel that a company should take pride in it's products and not market a tool with inferior parts or quality control. To me this is the same as stealing. Many of our Canadian members have posted threads about the King router, one saying they are better than the Porter Cable. Its obvious from the price that there is a big difference between these 2 routers. I'm afraid it is a case of let the buyer beware. And sorry if I offended anyone.aniceone2hold said:There is a reason this router sells for $120 Canadian versus $350 US for a Porter Cable 3-1/4HP. It's called quality and YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
