PC makes drywall trimmer and laminate trimmers, it might be one of those. Measure the diameter and compare to others PC motor diameters.
Porter Cable router question
Sep 04, 2004

I just bought what I thought was a router at a yard sale. I asked the guy where the base was, and he said there wasn't one - it's apparently a handheld unit for cutting drywall, sorta like a roto-zip but using what appears to be a standard PC router motor with no base. The area that would normally mate with the base is covered with a vinyl "grip". It was only 10 bucks, so I bought it.
Two questions:
- Anyone seen one of these?
- Anyone know if the standard PC base (either plunge or fixed) will fit this?
Thanks!

Is there a model or any identifying number on the motor? What diameter is it?

The original rotozips (25 yo?) were pretty much just a router motor iirc.
It is probably a model 7499 cutout tool. See

is a rotozip with a little more oomph.
Figured out what it is.
It's a PC 399 "Drywall cut-out tool".
