Small tool gloat
I have a illness, it is the dreaded MRS (multiple router syndrome)
I was at the fairgrounds flea market today and found this PC 690LR 1.75 hp router. It needs a little clean up, but for $25.00 I can clean it up myself. This makes my 5th PC 690 router.

Re: Small tool gloat
Yep, you got a sickness  But $25 worth of medication isn't too bad

Re: Small tool gloat
$25??? You'll make that up easily in time saved NOT switching out router bits!!! Just keep buying and soon you'll have a router for every operation, just like "Nawm"!!
And, oh yeah,
YOU ROCK!!!

Re: Small tool gloat
You might have a disease, but at least you passed the IQ test. Almost any 690 is worth more than that in spare parts.

Your Welcome .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") !
What I get to do now is set up my small Leigh dovetail jig with 2 routers. One for the dovetail bit and one for the straight bit.
