| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi Ed I do and have used the 3 1/2" bits with the PC 690 but you will need to get a VS control unit to get the speed down.. But if you want to make it a bit easyer on the router you can used the bit listed below..with a easy to make jig you can make panel doors all day long with the PC 690...if you want to see the jig just ask and I will post a link to it. http://www.sommerfeldtools.com/list.asp?d=71&p=1 http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops...ter_bits2.html here's a link to a VS unit http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=43060 Some of the 600 PC's come with a built in speed control if that's the case you have it made. Ed Here's a link to the easy to make jig http://www.routerforums.com/jigs-fix...uick-easy.html Quote:

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi Fourleftpaws I have a power switch mounted on the front of the cabinet on the left side and on the other side (right side) the VS box is mounted just to the inside of the cabinet so I can get to it and select the speed I need to use...the VS box has a switch on that I can set to full power or VS or Off ....plus the router just plugs into the VS box...I also have a 2 gang outlet box on the back side of the cabinet that the router plugs into and the other side of the outlet is for a light or Vac.plugin... The VS box only controls the router not the outlets,the front switch kills all power to the cabinet... ========= Quote:
