The Porter Cable 690 is a great smaller body router for both hand held use and in a table.I own 5 690's (fixed & plunge) and a DeWalt DW618PK (3 bases) It's what I use these days if/when I need to do a bit of routing by hand. I still have that 690 and it's almost 30 years old and going strong. I bought an extra fixed base that stayed mounted to the horizontal table so the router was easy to remove from it so I could use it by hand when I needed to. One exception though was one of my first routers, a Porter cable 690, that I used to use in a horizontal router table that I made and it worked great for that. It's too big for comfortable hand use anyway. Your router will not be happy.įor me, the router in the table stays in the table. if you're just doing a roundover/cove/ogee edge on stuff or the occasional dado, then most any router can do it, but when I think of a router table I'm thinking about being able to run everything including/especially ~3-1/2" raised panel bits and for anything like that you really will need a ~3HP variable speed router.
I guess it depends on what you want to be able to do on your router table. The more you know about the TRA001 the less satisfied you will be with having any other router in your table.
Not really one I'd recommend for use inverted in a regular table though, nor would I really recommend any router under 3HP for use upside down in a table.Įdit: looked at a few vids trying to find a relatively short one that hi-lites some of the best features of the TRA001 in a table and this one pretty much fits the bill. Not even close.įWIW, Porter Cable 693 or 893 fixed/plunge kits are excellent all-around use routers, and either is an especially great choice for use in a horizontal router table and/or by hand. I've ran thousands of board feet on mine and I still get the biggest smile every time I use it over how much of an improvement it is over everything else I've ran.īefore that I've had a Dewalt DW625 and a Bosch 1619 evs, both also excellent routers for table use, but neither holds a candle to the Triton. 3-1/4 HP to turn even the biggest of bits, and comes with an above the table depth adjustment handle that lets you bring the collet all the way up above the table to make single wrench above the table bit changes super quick and easy (only router I'm aware of that's able to do this). The Triton is a beast that's made to be in a table. Note: This listing is only for the dust port and screws to secure it, this does not include the router.If it's going in a table nothing is better than a TRITON TRA001. Please note that since this is a 3D printed part, there will be visible layer lines, this is normal and does not negatively affect the function of the part. If you have any questions, please let me know.ĭon't see what you want? Send me a message and I may design a new product for your need. This is printed in the USA using plant-based PLA plastic. The Porter Cable 1001 fixed base is also used in the Porter Cable 696 Shaper Table (which is what I took the photos of this adapter with). This works well because it is not stressed like the adapter portion is. The rear piece snaps into place without screws. This provides studs for the adapter to seat into, and it's secured in place with (2) included #10-24 nuts. Use these instead of the shorter screws used to attach the plastic base to the router. This includes (2) 1" #10-24 screws to attach the front adapter.
