Porter Cable Tools
Porter-Cable Routers, Sanders, Jigs, and Shop Tools
Porter-Cable's best sellers lean toward woodworking and finish carpentry. Routers include the 7518 five-speed and 7519 single speed 3-1/4 HP models. Joinery tools include the 4212 and 4216 12" dovetail jigs, hinge butt, door hinge, and strike and latch templates, a 9-piece template guide set, and the 557 plate joiner with size 10 and size 20 biscuits. For sanding, there is the 382 5" and 7346SP 6" random orbit sanders and the 352VS belt sander. The range also includes CMB15 and C2002 compressors, 18 gauge staples, a 7" wet tile saw, a 1500 watt heat gun, and replacement pads, belts, and abrasives.
What to Look For
- Router role. The 3-1/4 HP routers suit router tables and large bits. The five-speed 7518 slows down for big profiles.
- Door and hinge work. Hinge and strike templates with a guide bushing let you cut repeat mortises for doors.
- Sander choice. Random orbit for finish work, belt for fast stock removal and leveling.
- Parts. Replacement backer pads, PSA rolls, and belts keep older Porter-Cable sanders running.
