Hi SB

I have 6ea. 690 PC routers and 3 of the VS Controls and they work very well

But you may want to take a hard look at the new Sears Router combo set it comes with the VS built in plus many other neat things, Plus you can get it for 109.oo dollars...and if you have one of the Sears members cards you can take off 10% on top of that..

I have 3 of them now and they are as good as the PC if not better..

I should note
"Is variable speed important." = YES , it will save your bits plus it will let you use the bigger bits..

on sale for 99.oo bucks

Do devices like the one attached hurt a router? You can buy them for about 20.00.

It seems like the Porter Cable 690 and the device that controls speed is a good value.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
