Im looking to buy a porter cable router and i dont know which one to get?
one has variable speed, and the other is just 27,000 rpm. Is there a big advantage to buying the variable speed one, or is it just a waste of money. the variable speed one is about 50 dollars more! thanks!!!!

just get a reg fixed speed, then buy a router speed control Thu Harbor freight.com for [$9.98] and also get a plunge router,

27000rpm is fast--make a great power tool dragster.

let ask you a question what are you going to be doing with it if useing it once and a while get the single speed one if you going to be useing it a lot for differant projects buy the variable speed one a plunge router is better to buy what you can afford

The variable speed would be the best bet for all around use.

If you will be using it a lot and working with various hard and soft woods, get the variable speed. I have the Skil 2-1/4 HP with removable plunge attachment and love it. Put your best money into good bits. This is where the quality comes from.

The variable speed one will be helpful if you ever need to use large-diameter bits (to slow down the SFM at the circumference). That said, I've had a fixed speed one for 20 years without any problems.

The main advantage to a variable speed router is that the torque won't take it out of your hand when you turn it on. You can gradually turn it up to speed. A fixed speed router will want to jerk out of your hands when you turn it on.

Before you buy that one I suggest you take a look at the Dewalt combination fixed/plunge router. I've had one for 3 years and I absolutely love it. It is an incredibly versatile tool and Dewalt makes the best tools in the business in my humble opinion!

I use my Porter Cable router on a daily basis, and have never needed to use a variable speed. 1 great feature to have, is a lever release. Take a look at the 690LR.
