Porter Cable is coming out with it’s new router (PC890) This is not news for anyone who got the recent FW#166
It’s got all the features that I wish my 690 had, more power, soft start, and what looks like a much better base system. And it looks like it came from the same factory that built the terminator. Pretty cool.
But I have news that is even cooler. Be on the look out for Lowes and home depot selling their PC8529 at a bargain price. I think they will start carrying the 890 exclusively and are clearing out the 8529. I saw two of them on the clearance table (sealed in the box) for $127.00 each. (they list for $229.00)
I walked out with one under each arm.
Cheers!

They must have started late in your area. About three weeks ago HD had the 8529's at $100. A week later Lowes began clearancing them at $159 (or lower) in addition to a $25 rebate .
They are all history out here in Michigan!

You're porbably correct. I go my Hitachi SCMS that way. First come, first serve when they do it.
