Did they ever come up wih a simple router raiser for the 690 router. My routers may be too old. Maybe a DW 625? |

Router Raizer only worked on plunge router bases. Cheers! -- If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all, - Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign released 1967 |

Is this what your looking for? Works with PC690 or DW625. You just need the motor, no base. -- ~Walker |

The 690 has been around so long there are lifts that can carry them, as well as a number of heavier, stronger, more capable motors for router table use. PC themselves don’t talk about through the table adjustment until you get to the 890’s. A lift without a winder, is not much of a help to you. Where a 690 excells is hand held, for most of the smaller sized trim bits with a 1/2” shank. It’s what the Doctor ordered. Either a D handle, or a plunge base, it rocks. Probably the most current, and upgrade move is to marry it to a MPower CRB7 base, use the plunge base, and just keep going. -- Think safe, be safe |

Sorry not looking for a lift just a simple adjustment. They changed the adjustments for the newer ones which resulted in easier manipulation.I may have to move up to a current router. I’m trying to trade some Cherry for a newer Bosch . Maybe I can use it… |

I use this on my PC 7539 router in my router table and I’ve been happy enough with it that I decided against buying a better lift. It fits several models of PC and other brand routers. It does have to be a plunge base though. I’ve have it installed for 2+ years and never had an issue with it. And I can do bit changes above the table without using any kind of extension. I did have to bend a crook in one of my wrenches though. -- I collect hobbies. There is no sense in limiting yourself (Don W) - - - - - - - - Kenny in SW VA |
