| Registered User Dedicated Member  |  Pretty hot router? I have a couple of routers, a Craftsman and rebuilt Ryobi . I bought a PC 690 today and after mounting in my router table and using a clasical bit ,in making some minor adjustments for the hieght of the bit I noticed how hot the motor was getting almost to hot to turn. Is this normal for one of these routers? Much thanks Walt |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Walt They do run warm but should Not be HOT to the touch,,, are you using a drop cord ?, if so make sure it's the right size for the load and not over 25ft... If you still have a error you want to pack it up and take a trip to the store and get a replacment.. Bj  Quote:

| Registered User Dedicated Member | Thanks Bj, That might be the problem. I'm using a 50' cord to reach across the shop also do you know if I can use one of these speed controls with this particular model. Thanks Walt |
