If it looks like a biscuit cutter it could be a slot cutter. There are biscuit
cutter bits for the router.

Hi
Hi,
I purchased a bunch of older equipment off of a guy. Some of the items are
2 Craftsman routers. One has a jig attached to it and it looks like it cuts
a rabbet. I just turned it on and decided to plunge it into a piece of wood
to see what it would do and it took the underside of the board o

I have the Ryobi and my dad's old Black and Decker I had a craftsman for a
while and did not like the two wrenches to change the bit.

Hmm, that probably explains why bits have been sticking in my router, and
why I probably need a new collet. I crank the hell out of it when
tightening in a new bit

My 690 is probably 9 years
unless you only make
very occasional use of light work of the router.
Hope this is helpful.
