I picked up what appears to be a pretty good Porter Cable 5182 15-A (3 HP) router at a sale this weekend. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any opinions? It went REALLY cheap and I figured I couldn't go wrong. If nothing else, it weighs enough to make a pretty good boat anchor
. Anyway, I plugged it in and tried it out when I got home and it seems to work okay. It's got a 5-position switch for speed control that's some form of very early electronic control it appears. The lowest setting seems to have some trouble stabilizing, but the other 4 settings appeared to run good. I think it may need a new set of brushes too. Anyway, I'd really appreciate any information anyone might have on this model.
