Another item I really like is the spindle lock. It’s nice to be able to turn the power on and not feel the tool jerk in your hand. One thing I really like about this router that my 690 doesn’t have is the soft start. The motor has a no load speed of 27,000 with 1/4″ collet. Even though this is a compact router, Porter Cable designed this router with a 1.25 HP motor 7amp, so don’t let the size fool you.

Plus for me it’s much easier to control than my larger 690. Which means it is lightweight and I think comfortable to use. So let’s jump in and see what this router is all about.Īs you can see by the pictures or gather from the title of this article, this is a compact router. While I didn’t use the plunge base for anything practical, I did get to play with it a lot. I used this router to help build two cabinet doors for my bathroom medicine cabinet and I have to say this is a great router. Enough about my woodworking skills, let’s talk about the Porter Cable 450PK compact router. Okay well maybe it’s not that bad, but any real wood worker would kick my a** if they saw me using a router. Put it this way, when I am done routing wood, it’s just a big smoke screen, wood chips everywhere and the sound of a motor screaming and stalling. Yes I know that’s wrong and dangerous, but what can I say. I tend to set the depth too deep and push the router too fast. I can’t say I am the friendliest to routers. Primarily because I own the 690 and it has lasted, even under the conditions I put it through.
