I have the PC 310, Dewalt, and Ridgid. The Dewalt is my fav out of the three because of the LED's. The Porter Cable lives in a Bishop Cochrane base. The Ridgid's adjustment is awesome, but it's (mine at least) really hot to the touch after some use.

"really hot to the touch after some use."

Bearings or brushes?
If a motor gets hot it eventually melts the lacquer off the windings and goes Ka-put.

I couldn't tell you. After running it to cut binding channels, it was uncomfortable to hold. This was outside in 90 degree heat, but it caught me off-guard.

In all fairness, I replaced it and haven't used the replacement yet since it's dedicated to my binding jig.
