More Power Less Speed

Dec 09, 2011 3 Replies

I haven't tried it yet, but I just picked up a PC 690LR to try as an alternative to the Bosch Colt. For now I'll have to manually switch it until I get some heavier control relays for my system. I'm in the process of laying out the mounting clamp for the bigger router right now.



We will see.



It only turns 27k RPM though. I am going to have to really watch it with my smallest cutters. I hope I don't have to slow down to much. On the other side since its single speed and some of bigger cutters don't like to run over 24K I'll need to look at adding a speed control. Sigh. LOL. Fun fun fun.


Oh, darn. I missed an opportunity for another "What's it going to be?" thread.

I will have a real industrial 2 HP router head for sale soon.

$3,000 new. I can sell here for $1k. Made by Warsaw Machinery in Warsaw, IN.

Can you post some specs on it? Also current bearing condition, weight, etc.
