Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable 690LR 11 Amp Fixed Base Horsepower Router

Customer Review: Pc/Dew. router.
Summary: 4 Stars


I have several Pc 690 routers. All of which are genuine Porter Cable. This is the first 690 I have bought since Dewalt purchased PorterCable/Delta. This is a single speed fixed base router rated at 1.75 h.p.

Upon handling and unpacking the router I notoiced that the instruction manual was a foldup sheet typical of Dewalt versus the book that you used to get with Pc tools. The handle grips are slightly different and rubber coated which is fine.

Upon inserting a bit and starting the router I immediatly noticed that the router was very smooth. Very pleasant to use.

The base is shaped slightly different than the other 690's I have and has a lever release which functions well. However it appears that this base does not have the retention groove to keep the router motor from turning all the way out of and falling free when it is inverted in a router table. My other 690 bases do.

Overall I am very pleased and would purchase again.
