I bought the PC 690 with three bases and a router table for $260 years
ago. Plunge, D Handle and fixed base (for the router table). Tool King
sells this for $309 as Porter-Cable 691PW Professional Router Workshop.

It's a good starter kit. You might find a router table easier to work with.

Milwaukee Model 5615-20 (shown) costs from $150 to $160 for free hand. For
table I'd have to say the Triton TR-TRA001 $379.01 everybody does


I've been looking at the Triton for a router table.
I have also been looking at the new porter cable router 895PK.
This has a height adjustment that will work while mounted on a router table.

Also - it uses the same base as the 690 series.
So I can buy one and use it with existing router tables.

Anyone have any experience with the 895 compared to the Triton?
