Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This plunge base gives it a newer useful life. Easy to install and remove as needed. Pc charges a premium if you buy things separately.

Easy to set up and operates smoothly. Easy to adjust the depth. Convenient and handy to make adjustments.

Works just like advertised. Works like a charm on projects. Right tool for the right job.

For the hobbyist or professional, the 690 series routers are the go-to for reliability and precision. A plunge base is a must have for any router.



Cons

The plunge is not smooth and binds. It seems to be a defect in the plastic. This is not a correction that could be made accurately without machining equipment.
