Questions & Answers

The black base dick shown in the picture is included with this item?

In fact, the black base disc is already In retrospect, I would have just bought another router of the same model if I had to do it over again. It's handy to have two motors that have different bits, even with only one base, especially in a router table.

Do you think this will fit the PC6912 that came with a D This would be mounted under a table and the foot handle would be used for free-hand work. What would be the best way to do this? Thanks! ?

The 690 series router's fixed base is being replaced by this product

What is the lever release feature like on this?

PORTER-types are the most common A locking lever is present on CABLE 1001.

Would this work on a PCable 5372 router or would this need to replace a base from a 5371 router?

Those are the numbers I believe, but I don't know their exact amounts. I was able to use it with my router from 1973, and the clamp is much better than what I had before.

The table looks great on a router table
5/5

For mounting permanently on a new router tablet hat that I built just now, I ordered this and it works well. One thing I didn't like about the spring closure was that I needed to tighten the nut on it. Using it on the router table caused the motor of the router to lower a little bit because it was a little loose out of the box. I was able to solve the problem, however, after tightening up the spring closure.

There are handles and a These handles do not fit in the older Porter cable boxes without modification since they are a different shape from the older style
4/5

If the depth setting is already established, I prefer to use a wingnut instead of a clasp to secure it. Due to my fault, I used these items in place of the ones I broke from my old base.

A bit pricey
5/5

It is a fantastic product. Costs more than replacing the router, but is better than replacing the whole thing.

In my 20 years of owning the router, I liked the one that came with it
5/5

Back in the day, I liked the one that came with my router. The router table can be disassembled easily every time I want to use the router free-hand. With this one, I have no problems.

This cable is by Porter Cable, so of course it is It would be nice if the base had a way to communicate
5/5

This cable is by Porter Cable, so of course it is The mechanism for micro rotation of the base should be one where none of the clamps must be released.

Base that needs to be spared
5/5

The blank made it possible for me to have a fixed base mounted to my router table and still operate the router freehand while doing so. Wish they had one.
