I am thinking that they are going to move into the selling their
products by the pound. Or maybe based on cubic inches. Imagine the
huge blow molded cases we will see from them in the coming years. You
may have to have a pickup at your disposal to buy a router!

Too many folks mistake large cumbersome tools as being powerful and
"professional grade", ready to take on any project. Kind of the "Tim
Taylor" effect.

I kinda like the "aircraft carrier" OmniJigs. It'll be a while before I buy a
dovetail jig but the 16" model is on my list.

I believe that PC is moving towards the consumer market, not only
based on their designs, but the feedback I am hearing on their quality
(or lack thereof).

PC seems to be schizophrenic. The 7518 is still a pretty decent router. A lot
of their other tools rot now, though.

My last PC tool was their biscuit machine that has served for about 15
years now, and haven't seen anything interesting in years.

I have one of their biscuit machines, too. I'm not impressed, but it may be
that I'm not impressed with the whole idea.
