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.

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.

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.

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.
