I'm thinking of purchasing the Porter-Cable 895PK router kit mainly for it's built-in router lift capability. I'm looking for feedback here on how it compares to a dedicated lift like Woodpeckers, JessEm, BenchDog etc.
If the built-in lift is a reasonably useful feature I would save quite a bit over the combined cost of an individual router motor plus lift kit. If it does a good job I'd rather save the bucks for some other goodies but if not I'll spring for a good lift setup instead.
My plan is to build my own table and just use the 895 without a separate lift. I'm also wanting to do raised panel work too and wondering if this router is underpowered for the application.
Thanks fellas...
