Great writeup Eric, Imo Porter Cable routers have not lost any quality like some other items have. I like that this is a basic router, no led lights or other bells and whistles. This is powerful, tough like you said and will get the job done. When you get a chance, try and pickup the Milwaukee Bodygrip router, I know a lot of us are interested in it and there are hardly any reviews online. Well like I trust any other reviews besides tia anyways! Keep up the great work guys!!
Thanks and will have to try that one
I tend to disagree about PCs routers not having lost quality, but to each his own. I appreciate your wisdom/encouragement in owning tools appropriate to your use/need (ie you don’t use a router as often, so why own a festool?).
I think Milwaukee reviews for routers don’t exist because not a lot of people use them… I am a member on a canadian woodworking forum and milwaukee routers are not talked about very much… Mostly porter cable, dewalt, festool, and other big names are useed by people woodworking on a daily basis…
Great review! I think that is THE most detailed review of the Porter Cable 693LRPK anywhere. Wow! Please tell me you use a speech recognition app to help type all of that. Our do you get paid by the word :).
LOL, thanks for the idea.
Also. I’m just like Chase, I would really like to see a review of a Milwaukee router. That is if you can convince Milwaukee to send you one.
We will see what we can do.
The only direct comparison of a router is the Makita with the multi-base kit. It seems to have more flexibility than the PC. I also agree most PC tools have lost their luster over the last few years. Quality is not on par as it once was.
