 Best Miter Saw stand ever January 26, 2007
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have looked at a lot of these stands and used a few. This one is the baest I have used, a nd a great deal for $200.00. The cons are, it took about 30 minutes to assemble and the right extention is mounted off center so you do not use the entire roller.

I have no idea why Porter-Cable doesn't include one of these with the their 75xx series routers. I admit that the big routers would overpower most really delicate bits, but there are too many bits that are almost impossible to find in 1/2" size. Since my 7518 is the router in my router table, this collet is an absolute requirement.
Enough complaining. The good news is that the 1/4" collet is inexpensive and easily available. It works perfectly, of course, and is as solidly built as you would expect from a Porter-Cable professional tool. It also fits the 6xx series routers, in case you misplace one. So if you are like me and have four routers, you need one for backup in any case

I think it's criminal that Porter Cable has chosen not to include both the 1/4 inch and the 1/2 inch collet with this $300 plus router. This collet can't cost more than fifty cents; yet it's retailing for around $12. This is especially true since Porter Cable has joined the ranks of other companies, manufactoring their blades and bits in China. I have a number of Porter Cable tools, and they've always been first rate. I was really surprised when I received my new 7518, and it only had one collet. If they're going to rip you off on a collet, who knows what corners they're going to cut inside the case.

Works great, if you need it, get it, no problems. Works in all of the Porter Cable Routers that I have. Zero complaints and I always find every little design flaw.
1/4" collet for PC 7518 November 10, 2000

Unfortunately, the Porter Cable 7518 router only includes a 1/2" collet. This 1/4" self-releasing collet allows the woodworker who already purchased 1/4" bits to use the older bits in the PC 7518, saving the cost of purcashing new 1/2" bits. This collet fits in all Porter Cable 690 router series as well. If you've ever delt with a frozen router bit, you'll appreciate the self-releasing feature.
