That's a basic 25,000 RPM machine.

Max diameter bit at that RPM is about 1" dia.

Bit manufacturers include the MAX RPM with every bit they sell.

If you plan on doing raised panel doors which use about a 3" Dia
bit.

Operating that bit at 25,000 RPM is a disaster waiting to happen.

You will need a 3+HP machine operating at 7-8,000 RPM.

No raised panel doors, PC690 should handle it.

Make flat panel doors and you can do everything on a T/S,
no router needed.

Have fun.
