Porter Cable Router Base
#10
I have a couple of PC 690 Routers.  One of the bases may have been involved in an incident with the floor and a sudden gust of gravity (thankfully just the base).  It shattered one of the plastic knobs.  Looking online, the replacement part is no longer produced.  Anyone know a replacement that would thread the same?  I don't really care if it looks exactly the same.

I'll bet McMaster-Carr has what you need to rig up a replacement.

If you break the next one and can't find a PC replacement, there should be several options; Rockler, etc.  I'm pretty sure the base on a Bosch 1617 fits, too.

The 800995 2-1/4" diameter knob is pretty much not available, but the 803674 2"  (used on the larger routers) diameter seems available.

If I recall correctly, that knob has a 3/8-24 internal fine thread.  Lots of options for making your own.
