My first really good tool was a PC 690. Before that everything was either 2nd hand, or department store cheapos. Unfortunatly when I wanted to upgrade to 2 1/4 hp, money was tight. So I had to sell the PC to purchase a Hitachi two base combo. I really miss that router but I now have the Bosch Colt which will do anything the 690 would do other than accept 1/2" bits.
When I had the 690, PC really stood out as one of the best. But now that its Black&cabledeltawalt I"m afraid they may all meet in the middle. Somewhere near department store quality. But I sure do miss that 690 and may pick one up if there phasing it out.
