The PC 690 router is a really robust router for it's size. The shop that I worked in until recently had about 15 of them. Some were close to 20 years old and had only the brushes replaced. They got hard use too. Like cutting with a 1/2" bit, slots 4" long in 3/4" ply all day long. No problem. The larger 3 HP routers would get put into the router tables and pattern cut parts all day long also.
