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
