taylorv1 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I currently have a P.C. 690LR. I am wanting to upgrade with a plunge base. The two options I am considering are: Bosch MRC23EVSK or P.C. 895PK. Any Suggestions would help. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm between the Bosch, makita, dewalt sets myself. Leaning towards the makita for no real reason. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 My vote is for the Bosch partially because I am a Bosch guy and I also have the Bosch Colt and I love it. Probably can't go wrong with either actually. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrull Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have the EU version of the "Bosch MRC23EVSK" , and it is great. Awesome grip and control. Powerfull motor with low vibrations, good soft start and generally no troubles. Gold contracts, good, long, solid and soft cable, nice speed control, and very stable RPM with varying load. Awesome with possibility to adjust distance from underside (don't need this expensive function on the router table). Could get a better/stable plunge measurement (distance). Nothing major and problematic, but is not as detailed/accurate as the micrometer adjustor. I'd say the bosch is a very solid choice at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdog22 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 The Bosch is a great choice, I have the MRC23EVS, and I love it. Everything Andrull said is true. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'd almost say go with the PC but....only if you were looking at the more powerful motor. I have the 1617 Bosch and love it. I would add the Bosch has a faster speed however the PC has one handed bit replacement as opposed to using two wrenches. I guess what I'm saying, either one will be a great machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I tend to agree with everyones suggestion about Bosch, even though I am a DeWalt guy, I been eyeing up the Bosch router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have been considering the Milwaukee 5616. I already have 2 PC and a Craftsman plus a Harbor freight trim router that is actually a decent tool for $20. I like the grip on the Milwaukee and the adjustment setup.

rrich1 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 The Bosch just dropped $30! Down from $219 to $189. Looks like I'll be getting one of those too! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrich1 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 What website or store? NM...I was looking at the other Bosch router. The one with the wood handles. Workshop addict did a review of the one your looking at and the other one. Likes and dislikes between the two. I'd give it a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
