one handed routing [Posted on 2006-03-27]
With the added D handle for the porter cable router- normal 2 handed routing is now easier to control with 1 handed routing leaving your other hand to aid in stabilizing the lumber being routed. The D handle is well worth the extra if you do a lot of freehand or offhand style routing.

I recently recieved the D-handle base in the mail, I was expecting a used one for the low price and complimentary shipping, however, to my surprise received a brand-new sealed in box item! Thanks Amazon! Regarding the extra cord length, I simply unbolted the top plastic housing and cord retention clip, removed the three easily accessible hot/neutral/ground connectors. Next, cut the old cord ~ 16" from the male end, expose the three wires ~2" being careful not to cut into each wire's insulation. Then, rethread through the cord-relief rubber, bolt down the cord clip and reconnect the wires with new connectors. Lastly, reinstall the top housing. I found a 12' black extention cord that matches the male connector in case I need to switch bases.
Best accessary yet for P.C. routers [Posted on 2007-05-21]
Makes controlling the router 10 times easier when doing free-hand operations. My only question is....why isn't it standard for P.C. routers?
More comfort and safety [Posted on 2008-05-25]
I purchased the D-handle to go with my 6090LR router and had the same "long cord challenge" that the other reviewers had. After reading the reviews I did the reverse of what Mark did by just cutting the line cord to 17" and installing a new plug. This is because my plastic housing was not easy (for my router) to remove.
A quick trip to the hardware store and the purchase of a 15A plug I was all set. I cut off the excess cord and then stripped the open ends to double check it with my meter. Yes, the black was hot, white common and green ground (of course). Just making sure and it works fine.
This D-handle is one of the best ways to increase your stability and comfort when using your PC router. Highly recommended! you can also position the knob for right and left handed operators.
After shortening the cord I can't find anything wrong with it at all.
This was a fine addition.
