There is nothing—-and we do mean nothing—-not to love about this router. Remember the old 690 series? Porter-Cable's taken everything that was good about those machines and brought in all the improvements we all wished they'd make. We were never crazy about having to turn the entire router body to raise and lower it in a table, and voila! The above-the-table adjustment and bit changes are reality. There's a macro adjustment for gross changes, then you fine-tune with the micro knob. Bravo. We were surprised, too, how much quieter this model is than the 690, without sacrificing any power at all. We admit a little skepticism at first about the heralded GripVac handle, but now we must also admit to admiration. It's a smart design that collects dust incredibly efficiently and offers superb control at the same time. And OK, we also admit that it's fun to use.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

This is one sweet router May 5, 2004

This thing is SWEET ! The grip-vac handle acts like a new fangled D-handle. There is a coarse adjustment along with a micrometer fine adj. knob. One of the 2 big plus's is that through the router table adj. that can be made with only 1 wrench. Any 3/16" nut driver will work just fine. The second big plus is how QUIET this router is!! At the 16.5K speed no ear muffs were needed. I have a pc690 and it is really loud. The 890 series is remarkably quiet. The slowest setting was extremely quiet where as the highest setting was still quiet when compared to the pc690. The first startup was used with a freud T & G set. And it ripped a 1/4" groove in white oak at the 16K speed setting without a burp.
