Porter-Cable 9290 19.2-Volt Cordless Router

From the Manufacturer

When we set out to make a cordless router we wanted to make sure it held up to the standards we benchmarked in the router category. The result, a 19.2-volt router that utilizes the same interchangeable network battery system Porter-Cable uses to power all of their industrial cordless tools. Not only is this the first full-size cordless router to be introduced, it has out-performed even our high expectations. Think of the legendary 690 router without a cord and that is what you have with the 9290. Since it uses the same aluminum motor housing as the 690 it is full compatible with all the bases available for the 690 series router. It can be used as a plunge router with the optional 6931 base or as a D-handle router with the optional 6911 base. It performs so well it could also be mounted in a router table! The powerful 600-watt, 23,000 rpm motor handles most jobs that a 1-1/2 peak horsepower router can do. The long-life motor brushes are replaceable and the slide-in battery is positioned on top to put all of the weight directly over your work giving this unit exceptional balance. In addition, the spindle-lock feature and self-releasing 1/4-inch collet ease bit changes. Standard equipment includes the 2902 motor, the 1001 base 1/4-inch collet, collet wrench, 19.2-volt high capacity battery pack, advanced diagnostic charger, carrying case and instruction manual.

  • Powerful 600 Watt, 23,000 RPM motor handles most jobs that a 1 1/2 Peak HP router can do

3.0 out of 5 stars Router itself is a 5-star but the kit is just a 3-star, June 1, 2002
By 
Anton Naduwilage (Montrose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porter-Cable 9290 19.2-Volt Cordless Router (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is a great router! You have no idea how much easier it is to rout without the cord. I have a Makita RF1101, Makita RP1101 and a Bosch 1619EVS. I don't use any of those now. The cordless dose all of my jobs. I am well educated in physics and wood working is my hobby. Not like most others I don't get fooled by manufactures boastings about power. Hint; always go by metric units, they can't trick you then. Most 1.5 HP routers have an impedance of 11A. That is 1320W @ 120V of power out-put. This router has a power output of 600W, what is less than half of a 1.5 HP. suppose this was a corded 120V, the empedience would be 5 Amperes. Porter-Cable claims that this router will do as a 1.5 HP. I say, PC is tiring to trick you. while this router will do most of you're fixed based routing, it's got less than half the power of a 1.5 HP and it will not do or act as one.

I love this router, but the kit, no it just doesn't work. this kit comes with only one battery! come on Porter-Cable, do you expect people to wait an hour for charging when the battery goes down? If you don't have another PC 19.2V tool you gonna have to buy a battery. That is more $. I take one star away for this.

This is the cheapest thing PC did here, there is only the .25 inch collet. You have to buy a .5 inch...

The other thing that I find cheap is that the base is screw on. I couldn't stand it and bought a clip-on base. for these 2 I will take another star off...

If this kit came with 2 batteries, a .5 inch collet and a base with clip-on it is a defined 5 star, since it didn't I will have to rate it as a 3-star.

Nevertheless, the router itself is a 5-star.

5.0 out of 5 stars great router for door hangers, November 16, 2003
This review is from: Porter-Cable 9290 19.2-Volt Cordless Router (Tools & Home Improvement)
i bought this router about 6 months ago based upon the reviews. it works great. if you hang doors you can carry it in the house and use it to rout out the lockset on the side of the door etc. I have used it to hang about 17 doors so far and it will usually do 7 doors without recharging the battery. I bought the 19.2 drill from porter cable, so I have 2 more batteries. I know have about 23 drills, because the cost of 2 batteries seperatly is only about 30-60 bucks less than a whole kit.

use this router with the collet for the door jigs and you will be happy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Door Hangers Dream, November 9, 2002

Tod Murdock (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porter-Cable 9290 19.2-Volt Cordless Router (Tools & Home Improvement)
I hang custom doors for a living in the San Diego area and I tell you what. If I can go through a house, mortising latch and strike plates without dragging a cord, Im in heaven. I give it only 4 stars because it doesnt quite match up to the 2 corded PC routers I already use for other jobs and also the single battery it comes with
