Customer Reviews
one supplied with 690LR won't screw on
I purchased the 690LR via amazon, and it comes with a 1/2 and a 1/4 inch collet. The 1/2 inch collet is fine, but I am unable to screw the 1/4 collet on. I assume there is some sort of defect in the threads. It is hard to examine, still less try to repair, the inside threading.   More reviews
Perfect fit for machine and buyer.
The collet fit perfectly in my P-C Router; the sides even align perfectly with those on the chuck when tightened. It was well packet and timely shipped, too. Thanks, I could not be happier with the collet.…   More reviews
Best Miter Saw stand ever
I have looked at a lot of these stands and used a few. This one is the baest I have used, a nd a great deal for $200.00. The cons are, it took about 30 minutes to assemble and the right extention is mounted off center so you do not use the entire roller.   More reviews
If you need one, your really need one...
I have no idea why Porter-Cable doesn't include one of these with the their 75xx series routers. I admit that the big routers would overpower most really delicate bits, but there are too many bits that are almost impossible to find in 1/2" size. Since my 7518 is the router in my router table, this collet is an absolute requirement.

Big Rip-off
I think it's criminal that Porter Cable has chosen not to include both the 1/4 inch and the 1/2 inch collet with this $300 plus router. This collet can't cost more than fifty cents; yet it's retailing for around $12. This is especially true since Porter Cable has joined the ranks of other companies,…   More reviews
