Hey folks...
I'm planning a trip south in just over a week for a two week family trip.
And as always, I have a quick look at Amazon and Woodcraft to see if there is anything that I'd like to order and pickup while in the States.
Amazon currently has the PC690 router for all of $96. That's a tough deal to beat.
I've been wanting to pick up a simple 1/2" collet router for my router table and it looks like this might be the one.
I know I've read of other people who use this router in a table. However, the forums are also full of folks with cadillac router tables and fancy router lifts and all of that.
So really, what are the downsides of using a PC690 in a table? Bit changes take a bit longer, and you don't get super-fine height adjustment ability, I know that. What else?
thanks.
