 "Porter-Cable Upholstery Stapler" 2010-07-23
By Jeffer
Lots of products out there to meet this need. Porter's unit is well built, feels solid, easy to operate, and a great entry price-point. I'm not a professional upholstery fabricator, I'm re-doing my boat upholstery and am using this unit with my Porter-Cable compressor, using 3/8" x 3/8" stainless steel staples and it's been great. And I'm confident that I could complete my job, and turn it around in near new condition on EBay and get 80-90% of my money back!



One hint, adjust the air on your gun and test staples. At the higher end of the range it'll set the staples so far that the fabric will pull out (depending on your material and base). I had to run it on the lowest setting in the recommended range, which was as low as my regulator would adjust.



I definitely recommend this unit. Also, great vendor as well!

By W. Gravning
Like any well made product the Porter Cable Upholstery Stapler is absolutely a delight to use. The 1" long extension is a must for anyone working on upholstery projects. We used it recently on some oak chairs using 3/8" fine wire staples from Amazon at 70psi. Follow the instructions and you should have no problems.

By Rodney McQueen (Illinois, USA)
Have done various reupholstering projects through the years and had always hand stapled. What a difference this this tool made! It reduced the time required to complete the project and greatly improved the quality of the work. It did not "misfire" once. It is lightweight and easy to use. I highly recommend the tool, at least for home use.

I bought this to replace one exactly like it that I have been using for 7 years. It broke because I FORGOT to oil it and the inside rusted....In conclusion take care of your tools and this is an excellent one.

 "WOW, great tool and Recommded" 2009-11-05
By Electric Z (Oregon)
Upon receiving this stapler I was using it within 10 minutes of the UPS delivery. It came with the air fitting already installed. I slapped some 1/2" staples in it and I was off working. It has a great ergonomic handle that feels great in your hand and is lightweight. My wife likes it too!



The stapler is of the high Porter-Cable expected quality. It made short work of my first project and expect many more hours of use. This tool is made for working. As fast you can pull the trigger the staples are set deep and no jamming. Recommended and the price was very reasonable.



Here it is a month later and wanted to add a couple thoughts since first purchase. First, it is working great and I am very happy.



Next, some have commented about a possible safety feature missing in that staples can be freely shot out, (no device needs to be pushed against the object being stapled first). After using it a lot, quite frankly I would find it a nuisance if there was such device. When working with fabric or some other material it would be a major impediment to have to reposition the stapler, push down and then pull the trigger. When stapling many staples with its current design you can just slide the stapler to the next position pull the trigger and move on. Much more efficient and faster.

 "Terrific Sander" 2010-03-11
By M. Harvis (Monrovia, CA)
I'm a home woodworker. I've had numerous sanders over the years - Craftsman, Makita, and several Porter Cables. This sander is sufficiently powerful and smooth. Much less vibration than others I have used. The dust collector works surprisingly well although it's a bit hard to get off, which sometimes results in spilled dust. This sander is a good, well-made product.

 "Premature bearing failure" 2009-12-18
By Ike vanCruyningen (Silicon Valley, CA)
I've gone through two of these units and two of the previous model (333). Each time the bearings failed after three to six months of use. I talked to my finish carpenter and my stair builder and they both recommended a different brand (Milwaukee). I'm buying that next.

 "DO NOT BUY!!!" 2009-11-14
By R. osburn
So, I have two old porter cable routers , two old porter cable sanders and I just bought a new porter cable sander, which I imagine was made after it was sold to Black and Decker. I haven't bought a Black and Decker product in ten years because the quality reeks. Now I find that the "NEW" Porter Cable is just like the Black and Decker products. I guess I'll never buy another one. The new random orbital is biggger, bulky, harder to handle, harder to control than the good ol Porter Cables.

I like the way the sander performs. It replaced a 343 orbital with a PSA pad so I had to remove the old PSA pad from the 343 and put it on the new sander. The sander works well but it is slightly clumsy compared to the old. Probably because it is taller.

 "Great trim router for my application" 2009-09-14
By R. Ross (Los Angeles, CA)
I'm an experienced craftsman, but not a finish woodworker, so when I needed to significantly modify my favorite Oak TV cabinet in our living room to make it fit a new wide-screen TV, I had to temporarily enter into the world of routers and router bits. I had several jobs to do including rounding a four-foot portion of the cabinet edge with a 3/8" roundover bit. This edge has a molding sticking up just 1 1/4" inches away so only a router with a narrow base could do the job. Another constraint was that my 3/8" roundover bit is 1.26" in diameter. Since I had a one-time application for a router (my other router is used as a tool-post grinder on a metal lathe) I opted for the good reviews and inexpensive price of the PC 7310 and an inexpensive set of bits Yukon Tool YTRB24 24-Piece Router Bit Set.



My experience?...Very satisfied...but I did some customization.

First, the router worked great with very smooth and powerful operation in all the tasks that I used it for...which may be beyond what it is supposed to be used for. I was very careful, given my inexperience with routers, and built up temporary support structures and guide fences for most of my uses which included: round a four-foot portion of a solid oak cabinet edge with a 3/8" roundover bit, flush trim 3/4" oak plywood with a flushtrim bit, mortis out an exposed plywood edge with a mortising bit, cut out mounting holes for cooling fans using a cooling-fan template and a flushtrim bit, cut off the edge of a 3/4" solid oak cabinet door and remold it with an ogee bit combined with two other bits, and chamfer the edge of a new 1/4" Masonite cabinet partition.



Though the router worked great, I had two problems: 1) its base was still too wide to ride on the narrow edge of my cabinet and allow the 3/8" roundover bit to do its job, and 2) the cutter hole in the bottom of the base of the PC 7310 is too small (1.204" diameter) to allow installation of my 1.260" diameter 3/8" roundover bit. Also, the plastic base provided by PC is not particularly flat, as noted by other reviewers, but that was not critical for my application. Since the router baseplate is relatively easy to unscrew, I solved all of these issues by fabricating a new aluminum baseplate for the router with a narrow width on one side as needed for my application, and a larger hole as required for my larger cutters...and I made this baseplate flat.



Minor inconveniences: The cutters are a bit difficult to remove after they're tightened, but my Yukon cutters all had a ridge near the shaft so that a screwdriver could be used with a twist to break them free. Also, I invariably chose to remove the entire base to install and remove the cutters, but that took only seconds.



Bottom Line: the router did a great job for me and was amply powerful to not visibly labor on my significant tasks with oak cabinetry. My custom modifications solved my particular problems, but these are probably unneeded for the vast majority of the router's intended use. I highly recommend it.

This is an awesome little router for doing small trim or edging on work pieces. I recently used it to route small groves to accept dividers in a cabinet I was building. It's light weight and easy to handle, especially when you have to make several repeatative cuts.
