Pros & Cons
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.
