Model 7518 Porter-Cable Router incorporates a speed control that provides operating speeds from 10,000 RPM to 21,000 RPM, to handle the most demanding router applications in various materials.

Model 7519 Porter-Cable Router is designed for continuous, rugged operations to handle the most demanding routing applications at 21,000 RPM.

SELECTING THE BIT

Models 7518 and 7519 accommodate bits with 1/2" diameter shanks that are installed directly into the power unit collet. Collets are available that will allow the use of bits having 1/4" or 3/8" diameter shanks.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE router bits with a diameter in excess of 21/2" except when using Model 75182 motor set for either 10,000 or 13,000 RPM. Router bits with a diameter up to 3" may be used with the 75182 motor operating in the 10,000 or 13,000 RPM speeds. Router bits with a diameter up to 31/2" may be used with the 75182 motor operating in the 10,000 RPM speed.
