I have bought tools from Woodworkers Supply of New Mexico and have found
their service to be excellent. However, their prices, particularly for PC
stuff, tend to be high. Try either Acme Electric (Grand Forks, ND,
1-800-358-3096) or Seven Corners Ace Hardware, alias "Tools on Sale" (St. Paul,
MN, 1-800-328-0457). Their service is likewise excellent and both have
free shipping. I don't have my catalogs handy, but I believe their prices for
a Porter Cable 691 router is around $150-$175.
PC model 601? Is this a typo . . . not listed in the PC catalog . . .
