Default Cheap Routers are Expensive

I just ruined a 12' long piece of oak because the depth adjustment on my
Craftsman router slipped while beading the edge of the oak. Not sure what
happened, but I am nervous about using it now. Never had a problem on pine,
but it seems like oak stresses the machine too much.

In looking at some posts on router recommendations, it seems like Porter
Cable are well thought of. Is that still the case?

Incidentally, how long should a good bit like PC last?
