Just wanted a little input on a router decision. I've basically narrowed it down to Porter Cable 694VK or the Craftsman 26620. From what I can tell the kits are basically the same, 1/4 and 1/2 collets, fixed and plunge bases, variable speed, etc. The only big difference is the reported HP of the units, PC being 1 and 3/4 with the Craftsman advertising 2 and 1/4. Right now I can find both for $199.
I know the power ratings aren't always the most accurate indication of power, but the craftsman seems to be more powerful. I'm leaning towards the craftsman after learning it's really made by bosch. I've found plentyof accessories for both, maybe a few more craftsman accessories but I know they're all out there online somewhere. just thought I'd ask you guys before I bit the collet and bought the thing. Thanks.
