  1. Porter Cable 7538 Production Router

    in All others not listed

    Posted

    In Porter cable hay days, they made some pretty stellar routers, probably the best around at the time. The router you have is no different. this model router was first available in around 1994, but don't let that discourage you back then they used heavy duty copper windings which gave it incredible power, weighing in around the 17 lbs mark this is no DIYer router, it is a commercial grade production router. Nice gift.......

    son of  a birch tree, I kinda thought it looked a little different but ok then not the Milwaukee I'm thinking of funny they can get away with the same name, I'm going to start making windows and call my company Microsoft Windows Inc.

    well I originally planned for a matching door to house the electronics in this little floating cabinet, however after using it for some time I noticed between the laptop and the cable box it was creating more heat then I wanted. Not a huge amount but laptop fan kept coming on. So I went with a different approach. I removed the door, I made small wood frames and covered them with a couple layers of stainless screen, painted them black and bingo air flow and concealment. Top section houses the google home assist, don't need to see it so it works perfect. These panels are just press fit so they can be removed to gain access

    Well my Kitchen reno is complete, 97 days of not having a kitchen sink is incredibly inconvenient but that is all over with now. The next order of business was to make my wife 6 ft tall, I did this by making here a 1 foot step stool from left over counter top. Seeings she is very petite 105LBS @5 ft 2 inch if she is jumping, it didn't need to be over built. It doubles as a plant stand when not in use too.....

    finishing up with some kick plate or toe kick what ever it is called, I didn't like the typical black plate that came with the dishwasher, seeings the kick plate I will be installing is high gloss like the cabinets the black factory plate would not look right, I didn't want a brake in the line even if I painted the factory one white. So I got a little creative by kerfing out the area where the dishwasher sticks out to match the factory thin plate.

    instead of going with the traditional 45 in the corner I just spliced a piece right along side 
    seeings the seam is so hard to see it worked out great. the seam is actually in the middle of the picture....

    good and bad news...so it turns out fine dust from sanding counter top splices created a super fine covering in the area. It turned out I had sink on floor and it got covered in this super fine dust, well because of this I discovered the sink has a couple hair line cracks in 2 corners.......I bought the sink online almost 5 months ago......(sale what are you gonna do) anyway Kudo's goes out to Amazon.ca as their return policy is 90 days however when I explained that I hadn't installed it yet they said no problem sent me a shipping label to return cracked sink (no charge) and placed an order for a new sink 2 day shipping.....

    Not sure if anyone has worked with bamboo counter tops? It not being wood per say but is very close. Needless to say while I am splicing the counter and cutting the hole for sink I will pass on a tip: this stuff is harder than hard maple and will burn if a poor or dull blade is used.....A high tooth count blade is also best....also a very sharp splinter free cut can be achieved...sink in the hole, now the sanding and sealing begins......
