I have had my PC for almost a year at this point. The soft start, the plunge, the variable speed controls, the on/off switch on the handle and the micro-meter adjustment are all wonderful. The chip deflector will fall off every so often but it is okay as well. My only problem was the space age looking guide that I had to buy extra. It looked as if it would be perfect as it too has a micro-meter adjustment. However, the guide itself would never stay where it was set so the router wandered. Very dissapointed in this and wish PC would fix it. Without question, I would buy another one as the power is great as is the finish.
