Default Fixed Base 1001 or 75361

Please let me know.

I am using PorterCable pc894pk.
Base 1001 fits 8902 moter-unit. I found it in FAQ.
Does Base 75361 which might be better base than 1001 also fit 8902 moter-unit ? I can not find it in FAQ.

I wonder WHY Porter Cable does not accept question except US and CA.


I want to import several goods at one time.
I was taught about bits. I found BRASS info. in this forum.
But fixed base fitting 8902... I can not find it in forum.
So please let me know.

Benny, the part you want is 8901 fixed base for 890 series routers. The 75361 is for the big 3+ horsepower motors. The 8901 has a built in lift mechanism for use in a table, and allows you to quickly change motors or bases by openning the motor clamp and disengaging the height adjuster. I love it for use in the table.

The one thing to check is that your motor has a black gear rack bolted to the side. This engages the height adjuster on the fixed base. If not, you'll have to order one at about $2.50 US, buy the machine screws to bolt it on locally. The Rack is part number 911807 available thru https://www.dewaltservicenet.com

Hope this helps,

Benny,
I agree with kp91, the 8901 base is designed specifically for the 890 series routers and it offers more accurate adjustment.
That being said, I believe that the 890 routers will work in the 1001 base. It requires the removal of the rack on the 890 motor and it will fit.

Doug san,
scrollwolf san,

Thank you very much.

Is it right for me to understand that I can use 1001 with 8902, but 75361 is impossible ?
