It's a lot of money to pay for a tool with only one job but there is nothing else in the world that can do the job it does in the everyday world. Set up is a little slow but when all adjustments are complete it seldom runs over 20 seconds and its job is done.The depth adjustment came broke on my first one. desertcart leaned over backwards to get it swapped out and we went on with business. Review: Costly But Worth It - I have to say that when doing a home full of custom doors with mortised hardware this tool was worth its weight in gold. I found the set up to be a bit frustrating because of finding the tools initial alignment but once it was established it was perfect. The only down side was that the tool has to be used in the vertical position which b/ of its weight makes it a bit awkward. The only problem I had with the tool was after about 3 doors the switch toggle stopped working and I had to unplug it to stop it. I played with the toggle and got it working again, but it was frustrating and potentially dangerous. Overall. I am happy and found it to be a real time saver. I highly recommend the face plate template too. ## Features - 11 Amp, 27,500 rpm motor producing 1-3/4 Peak hp - Quickly and accurately cuts mortises for box locks - Particularly useful in entry door lock installations - Cuts mortises up to 7-inch long, 1-1/4-inch wide and 4-3/4-inch deep - Accommodates doors thicknesses of up to 4-1/2-inch; Simple to set-up and locate to door ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000224LA | | Additional Features | Portable | | Amperage | 11 Amps | | Brand | PORTER-CABLE | | Brand Name | PORTER-CABLE | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | | Drill Type | Basic Drill | | Drilling Capacity Metal | 0.39 Inches | | Drilling Capacity Wood | 0.39 Inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00039404005137 | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7"L x 1.25"W x 4.75"H | | Item Weight | 34 Pounds | | Manufacturer | PORTER-CABLE | | Manufacturer Part Number | 513 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 30 day performance certification/One year limited warranty: Porter-Cable warrants its power tools for a period of one year from the date of original purchase.
