If you can justify their place in your shop, even if it's just to say that you like the way they look, all lined up in a row, then far-be-it for me to be critical. What he said. And don't get the Hand Tool guys started on chisels nor hand planes.

At one time I had a lot more 690 types. In the 1980s I dropped a 690 and broke the base. I did a lot of flea markets at the time so I would by a broken 690 just to get the base. I ended up repairing every one I got. Never did get an actual burned out 690, but I did learn a lot about repairing them. I've added at least two since these photos were taken, one another 690 and a 537. I haven't gone to the store to buy a new one in at least 20 years.
..as they say, no pictures, didn't happen.

Are you my wife? I asked because the answer may be different if she asks.

Had 24. I've sold one with a table, plus gave one away.
So down to 22. 4 of those are in (2) dual tables. I also have one in a single table. All are Porter Cable routers.

Mo. I miss the days of using my dinghy with a girlfriend too. Zack Butler-4/18/24 The Revos apparently are designed to clamp railroad ties and pull together horrifically prepared joints WaterlooMark 02/9/2020

Over 20 last time I counted. Some are never used and I’ve tried to sell them off, but I don’t try very hard because I might just need it on the next project...
