Porter Cable router on sale

[Basschair]

Hey, anyone who's still looking for a router and worried about a good price...

Porter Cable 1-3/4 HP Router Model 690LR
at Woodcraft.com for $119.99, and there is a $20 mail-in rebate through PC, so the end price is $99.99. That's a pretty good price for a new router from PC, and no, I'm not affiliated with woodcraft in any way.

I have the 690 LRVS, which has the variable speed and soft start. It's a fantastic router, and at 1 3/4 horse power, it ate right through bubinga, wenge, and purpleheart with no problems, and that was with the speed dial at 3 (out of 10).

Here's the manufacturer's description:
