Firehawk Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Is anyone else finding a shortage of 3 hp routers? I just ordered a Jessem router table and lift and cannot find anyone that has a 3 hp Milwaukee or Porter Cable router that's in stock anywhere. Any leads are appreciated.

legenddc Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I believe one of the big Porter Cable ones was just discontinued. Outside of the big box stores and Rockler/Woodcraft have you looked on CPOoutlets, Acme Tools, Toolnut, etc? You may get lucky at a smaller woodworking retailer who has lower turnover.

Check and see if the Triton is compatible. There may be a Makita that will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Acme Tools has it in stock. Several outlets in Canada as well, if that's feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Trying Acme - unfortunately their website won't accept the order. With a little luck I might be able to get them via phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Firehawk Posted November 25, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Got the 3 1/2 hp Milwaukee from Acme. Their website was overwhelmed but got a phone order in after a 20 minute wait! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I feel sure that'll be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have the Milwaukee 5625, which I bought to go in the router table. It's way nicer in the hand & smoother than my smaller & lighter PC router. In the router table it will take far bigger cuts without bogging down or doing that awful chattering thing that so many routers do when working too hard.
