Hi,
Most of the posts here about the KM12VC are mine and yes the mounting hole pattern is the same as the PC690's. The problem in more then one case is that the "other" Hitachi router is often thought of when you here the M12...... Rockler now sells the M12SC so you could ask what plate to get for that..... there part no. 29321.
I don't have the rockler system so I can't comment on it but in the catalog the package 1 has the PC 690 listed so that should work fine and I see it is cheaper.... by $20.
I really like this router and got the kit about 10-11 months ago then over the summer picked up another one but since I had the kit I save a few $ and went with the M12VC, then just after Christmas I purchase my third one, again the M12VC. I got it for a really good price so my router needs are covered for a while... Picked up a spare base off e-bay for $10 about a week ago to mount to my horzontal table full time. Now I just have to wait for warmer weather to get routing again.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.
