The new lever release feature lets you make quick and easy height adjustments, especially when table mounted. Just flip the lever open, make your adjustments, and snap the lever closed. Included in the system is a 1 - 3/4 Hp, 23,000RPM router, base, 1/4" collet, collet wrenches, and operating manual. Lever release base also available separately; fits all 690 motors.

Rating the 690LR:

Have only used it once, but like it very much. Most of my power tools are Porter-Cabe

Porter Cable 690lr:

Bought my first Rockwell router in 1974. I own 3 of these and have jigs made to accept the base, and many specialized bases to fit this router. It's more efficient for me to set up a router and leave it for a designated job. When I'm doing a run I can have as many as 5 different routers set up. This PC has a different base lock that seems to work very easily, along with the newer style chuck that makes for easy bit removal.

Great router, good price:

This router is awesome! I am hooked on buying tools via Amazon because I got a real Porter Cable router for a great price. The router is solid, has worked perfectly for me thus far, and is really smooth. You can tell it's a quality tool just by the sound of it and the silky feel. Really, nothing else to report, and I think that's how it should be for a tool like a router. It just works every time, plain and simple.

Great no-frills router:

I needed a couple of routers to go with my Leigh dovetail jig and these were the most inexpensive good name routers I could find. I bought 2 of them and set one up for tails and one for pins and just leave them set up for that one task. They perform flawlessly and now I can just grab them and know they will give me a perfect joint every time.
