laminate router/ good buy October 6, 2009

purchasing this on line saved me $40 and the delivery was very quick. You always wonder when you order online if the service will be as advertised. I would buy again from this supplier.
Great trim router for my application September 14, 2009
R. Ross (Los Angeles, CA)
I'm an experienced craftsman, but not a finish woodworker, so when I needed to significantly modify my favorite Oak TV cabinet in our living room to make it fit a new wide-screen TV, I had to temporarily enter into the world of routers and router bits. I had several jobs to do including rounding a four-foot portion of the cabinet edge with a 3/8" roundover bit. This edge has a molding sticking up just 1 1/4" inches away so only a router with a narrow base could do the job. Another constraint was that my 3/8" roundover bit is 1.26" in diameter. Since I had a one-time application for a router (my other router is used as a tool-post grinder on a metal lathe) I opted for the good reviews and inexpensive price of the PC 7310 and an inexpensive set of bits Yukon Tool YTRB24 24-Piece Router Bit Set.
My experience?...Very satisfied...but I did some customization.
First, the router worked great with very smooth and powerful operation in all the tasks that I used it for...which may be beyond what it is supposed to be used for. I was very careful, given my inexperience with routers, and built up temporary support structures and guide fences for most of my uses which included: round a four-foot portion of a solid oak cabinet edge with a 3/8" roundover bit, flush trim 3/4" oak plywood with a flushtrim bit, mortis out an exposed plywood edge with a mortising bit, cut out mounting holes for cooling fans using a cooling-fan template and a flushtrim bit, cut off the edge of a 3/4" solid oak cabinet door and remold it with an ogee bit combined with two other bits, and chamfer the edge of a new 1/4" Masonite cabinet partition.
Though the router worked great, I had two problems: 1) its base was still too wide to ride on the narrow edge of my cabinet and allow the 3/8" roundover bit to do its job, and 2) the cutter hole in the bottom of the base of the PC 7310 is too small (1.204" diameter) to allow installation of my 1.260" diameter 3/8" roundover bit. Also, the plastic base provided by PC is not particularly flat, as noted by other reviewers, but that was not critical for my application. Since the router baseplate is relatively easy to unscrew, I solved all of these issues by fabricating a new aluminum baseplate for the router with a narrow width on one side as needed for my application, and a larger hole as required for my larger cutters...and I made this baseplate flat.
Minor inconveniences: The cutters are a bit difficult to remove after they're tightened, but my Yukon cutters all had a ridge near the shaft so that a screwdriver could be used with a twist to break them free. Also, I invariably chose to remove the entire base to install and remove the cutters, but that took only seconds.
Bottom Line: the router did a great job for me and was amply powerful to not visibly labor on my significant tasks with oak cabinetry. My custom modifications solved my particular problems, but these are probably unneeded for the vast majority of the router's intended use. I highly recommend it.

C. J. TURNER (Vinton, Va. USA)
This is an awesome little router for doing small trim or edging on work pieces. I recently used it to route small groves to accept dividers in a cabinet I was building. It's light weight and easy to handle, especially when you have to make several repeatative cuts.
Happy with purchase August 14, 2009
C. Jon (Oregon)
I purchased the brand new Porter-Cable 7310 router from Amazon and saved about 35% on the purchase.
It was shipped right away and arrived in record time. I am pleased with the purchase and the service.
