No, it is certainly not a Rockler exclusive. The PC part number is 1001. You may have better luck finding one at a service center. Not very many places carry these because they are standard equipment on the
690 series routers. Thus there is little call for such parts.Jim
You should be able to find one on Ebay pretty cheap. That's what I did.

That's a cheaper price than I recall paying at Rockler some years back. Considering that you can buy the router motor and base for maybe $119 on sale, what do you really want to do.
It is a PC part, though.

router?
Its not a Rockler exclusive, its a PC proprietary part, as a few others have posted. The cost of the part approaches the cost of a new
690 router. If you're not in a rush you can hunt for a used one particularly that you don't need the motor. You don't want to buy a car through the parts counter of the dealership. Joe G
Me too - accidentally. I bought a base for my PC laminate trimmer, but the seller shipped the 690 base instead, and then shipped the correct base, and insisted I keep both. So I re-eBayed the 690 base. IIRC I made $30-35 profit selling it used, so the Rockler deal doesn't sound too bad. Andy
I've purchased refurbished single speed 690's with that base for $65-75.
