#1 | | PorterCable D-handle base -Gloat! Name: Matt City: Cary State: NC County: Wake Join Date: Sep 2008  01-29-2009, 09:32 AM
Patience does pay off, trust me! After looking/wanting for awhile now, I finally found it. The Porter Cable D handle router base! With its unique handle with built in locking trigger switch, this makes my PC 690 a whole new tool. More control over powering on/off and a nice handle to better control direction of cut. Sweet! 
Also, I can use the traditional base to mount on a portable router table. Go from a handeld to a router table by just turning motor in and out of the two bases! Sweet! 
Thanks for looking
Matt

I love the d-handle and hate the long cord you have to deal with from the motor to the handle. I am thinking of shortening the cord and leaving a motor in the d-handle. WGD at it's best!!

WGD at it's best!! In my search/research, I found a thread where someone had taken orig cord out from the motor (inside connections) and replaced with shorter. Not cutting original.
I have some surge cords I cannabalized for this same purpose. That way If I ever want to sell router (NOT!) I can restore to original condition.
Thanks,
Matt

Nice score! The "D" handle is my preferred base for my router in most cases. I feel like I have more control over the router ... | |
