Porter-Cable - Porter-Cable- 450PK Router Combo Kit
Jun 02, 2011
The Porter-Cable 450 is almost identical to the DeWalt 611PK. But the differences are where it falls short. There are no LED lights, so visibility isn’t as good. Also, the body of the fixed base has painted ridges running parallel to your fingers, resulting in a slick surface. And the subbase is round, so it’s not as good for use with a straightedge.
