Porter Cables 690LVRS has an interchangeable base which is totally compatible with the manufacturers alternative bases such as the standard base, the D-handled base, the plunge base and of course the router table. This feature is one of the most popular amongst users and Porter Cable have managed to keep the motor casing size the same whilst increasing the power this tool has giving this complete flexibility.
For your convenience also the interchangeability of the motor on this particular model has been made extremely quick and easy - not only for adjusting height but also changing bits. It boasts and easy to operate lever base motor release which can be used without any hassle whilst the router is being used on a router table or freehand. All you have to do is release the lever, adjust the motor up or down using a twisting action then relock - simple as that!
This model has one other safety feature - a drop lock which prevents the motor falling out when in use under a router table and a further improvement has been made to the switch. The previous model of this router had a toggle like switch, this has now been upgraded and the Porter Cable 690LVRS has been given a sealed rocker switch. The sealing is very efficient at preventing dust from getting in and causing your router to break
Another great improvement can be seen on the handles, these have been ergonomically re-designed to allow them to fit better into the hand giving greatly improved grip.
With the exception of these adjustments the overall design of the 690LVRS router which has been so popular stays unchanged, and this model still has its flat top allowing it to be free standing up-side-down whilst bits are changed.
Overall the performance of the Porter Cable 690LRVS router is unbeatable in its class, it cuts with great accuracy on a variety of materials. In fact, it has a micrometer depth adjuster which allows it to cut to within 1/128th of an inch. Who can complain about that?
There are other models available in the Porter Cable 690 router range such as the Porter Cable 690LR which has all the features of the 690LRVS but without the variable speed.
