PC 7518 router speed varying

Dec 12, 2008 3 Replies

I was using my PC 7518 at 10000RPM in a table to make a window stool the other day. While I was examining the last piece off the table, the router started varying its speed up and down. Nobody was near the thing; no load on it.



I went ahead and did the next piece. When I applied the load the rouiter went up to 10000 RPM and stayed there for the entire cut. After the cut, more varying speed stuff.



Anybody seen this one before? Has a cure been identified??

Contact Porter Cable, this has been reported on numerous occasions. Apparently it is a problem not unique to your router.

Yes. It's probably a normal aspect of the really-low-speed operation when unloaded.

Cut more wood :-)
