PC 890 - Reject or Loaner...

I have 6 porter cable routers, one of witch is the 890 that I keep in the router table. You can buy a base plate for around 6-7 bucks that will take the inserts. I also have the have the micro-guide, and it does’nt fit all of them. I think that you are talking about inserts, the colllets are the same.

Yep, the collets are all the same.

GaryK did a review on “Eliminator RC Quick Change Chuck” it replaces the nut and collet on your router thus minimizing run-out which can occur with some extensions. All except 890 series routers.
http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/729 I want the collet type, this won’t fit 890…
Rockler sells the collets for PC routers… All three models fit Porter Cable 690 Series routers as well as Porter Cable 7529, 7518, 7519, 7538, 7537 routers. – no 890 – ??? So I figured it was the collet… I would think if all PC’s take the same collet why won’t the eliminator fit the 890… XL Quick Change Chuck won’t fit… http://www.rockler.comCategoryView.cfm?Cat_ID=89
