Description

Porter-Cable 690LRVS 1 3/4 Peak HP Variable-Speed Router with Soft Start.

This new model is a direct result of never ending perfection from Porter-Cable. We took the famous 690 router first introduced in the late 1960s and did the impossible, improved it. Not only has the power been increased to 1-3/4 horsepower, but we added a dust sealed rocker switch, larger more ergonomic handles and a one hand operated lever release for locking the motor depth in place. This new lever is extremely useful for router table users and incorporates a motor "catch" that will not allow the motor to drop out of the base when loosened. The 1/2- and 1/4-inch self-releasing collets are a dream come true when bit changes are necessary and the 10-amp, all aluminum motor housing and base ensure cool running even with large diameter bits. The biggest feature yet to be mentioned is the new electronic variable speed switch that allows you to fine tune the revolutions per minute from 10,000 rpm to 27,000 rpm. Now you can adjust the speed to match the size of the bit and the hardness of the wood to eliminate burning and chattering. Of course precise bit depth is easily achieved with the 1/64-inch micrometer ring that utilizes machined pins in the motor housing to ensure smooth, accurate adjustments every time. With external brushes and a flat top to aid in bit changes, this U.S.A. engineered and manufactured machine is as good as it gets in routers. If you are serious about buying a router, do yourself a favor and buy this router today, you will never wish you had any other one.
