Porter Cable 9690LR Router Sale @ the BORG

Nov 10, 2004 9 Replies

A little birdy has told me that this router is on sale at the Borg for $99 vice the usual $139.00. The BORG bought them for supposedly a one day Thanksgiving Special and is now selling them early. Haven't verified it with my own eyes yet.

Blue borg or orange borg?

I don't think we ever did as a general rule, but I've taken "the borg" to mean any of the big boxes. So when you said "the borg" had them on sale, I needed to find out which. One's three miles away (blue) and the other is ten (orange).

My distance to the orange is about 3 miles and the blue may be closer to 15 mi, but that is changing. I had to go to the orange a few days ago and what did my wandering eyes percieve??? A blue being built directly across the street from the orange one. Now throw in the large OSH down the street a few blocks (Just past the Wal-Mart). Now if there was just a quality woodworking store . . .

Consider it verified. I just picked one up for my daughter for Christmas.

Thanks for the heads-up.

there are 3 BORGs within 10 miles of my home. a blue went up last year less than 1/2 mile from one of them. now they are building one more within a few hundred yards of each of the other two.

Thanks! Picked up one tonight (Thursday) at the $99 price - with case, 1/4 and 1/2" collets, pair of wrenches, parts list and user's manual. Probably will leave it set up with a 1/8" R roundover bit.

Interesting about the price ranges
