They should send one of these to me
By Jon Preston
They should send this base to me, and everyone else who bought the original version of it with the router! Just read my Amazon review of the Porter Cable 894PK router with plunge and fixed base from over a year ago. The original plunge base, which this replaces, was absolute JUNK. They copied the best features of the Dewalt base and released this as a replacement for the defective one they sold me two years ago.I saw this new base at the AWFS woodworking show in Las Vegas last month, and it was an excellent plunge base. It solved all the problems (like rocking from side to side, and sticking)that plagued the original plunge base for this router, and added the dust collection feature. The photo in this Amazon page is NOT the new base. It is a photo of the defective old model that this version replaces. The new 8931 base has a large dust collection port in one of the plunge tubes, very much like the Dewalt model. I would like to have it, but why should I have to buy the replacement for the the defective base they already sold me? At the very least, they should give all the existing customers who shelled out hard earned money for the defective older base a discount coupon towards the purchase of this replacement.

Good original tool
By Greg Golden
It's really part of the router. Good multiple stops, and a nice locking lever that can be locked into the "open" position. The sub-base has a dust removal outlet, but I am having trouble finding a hose to fit. NOTE: Whenever you buy a router, try to get a SET with a Plunge base and Fixed base included. I waited on the plunge base-- thought I could do without. Then I bought this Plunge base separately and paid a lot. Unless you just need some partial router as a second unit, buy a SET all together!

By FlashJim
I ordered this wondering which version I'd end up with. I received the Type 3 (newest) and it's great! The original base had me lean over it just to plunge the thing. The new 8931 can be plunged with two fingers. I love it!
