Bearings for the Ubiquitous Porter Cable 690 Series Router: Mission Accomplished!

You get a gold star for persistence, to be sure.  Most of us would have just run it until it died.  I'm going to print out those bearings and put it in the 690 manual for when mine need to be changed, which was a couple of years ago to be honest.  Thanks very much.  

Who did you buy the SKF bearings from?

There can be a 'gotcha' detail on some of the older 690 models.  They used the wide inner race 88502 size bearings.  Been bit by that more than once.
