We won’t go into all the details but I have several, PC 690 routers and a couple of the little 390’s. I have a bigger PC router that came with the tool to raise and lower it when mounted in a table. Way handy to have. I then got a couple of Makita routers one is close to the 690 and one is a bit bigger that was a kit with a D-handle, plunge and regular base. The first time you pull the trigger on the Makita you can tell it is just a solid router. If I’m not using the table I pick up the Makita first every time. Now that I don’t need all the 690’s I really should peddle a few of them. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Woodworkers [mailto:woodworkers-bounces@lists.sawdusters.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Clint Warren via Woodworkers<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, December 18, 2020 8:23 PM<br><b>To:</b> woodworkers@sawdusters.org<br><b>Cc:</b> Clint Warren <clintonwarren@msn.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [Woodworkers] Any recommendations for a router?<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hello all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ten years or so ago I bought a Porter Cable 7518 (I think) router.
