Porter-Cable Woodworking Routers

Porter-Cable Speedmatic 3-1/4 HP Fixed Base Router

This industrial-quality router features an electronic five-speed 15 amp motor with a range from 10,000 to 21,000 RPM. Strong enough to maintain constant speed under load and outfitted with a soft start to avoid sudden surges.

The specially engineered 1/2" collet auto-releases the bit, eliminating bit "freeze-up". Another unique design puts the bottom bearing closer to work for minimum bit run-out and vibration. Weight 15.5 lbs.

Porter Cable 1-3/4 HP Router Model 690LR

This tried and true router, which weighs 9.5 lbs and is powered by an 11 amp motor at 27,500 RPMs, has been the industry standard for years. If a woodworker could only have one router, this would be the one the majority would pick!

• Motor housing and base are precision cast aluminum to help dissipate heat, which is another reason why this router lasts so long
• Accurate micrometer depth-of-cut adjustment allows easy height adjustment of 1/128"
• Under-table stop prevents the motor from inadvertently rotating out of the base
