I would like to expand this question a bit as I am also in the market
for a router. I have purchased a table saw a little while ago and
am amazed at the things I can do with it, so I know I will be getting
more and more into woodworking.
Now for the questions.
o How much horsepower?
The 1hp models seem small, but the 3 hp seem way more than
I need, is there something in between?
o Plunge capability
What purposes is this used for, would I be likely to need it
in the future? Does it have any drawbacks?
o What about bits? 1/4 inch vs. 1/2 inch? Any standard bits that
you should have, what about sets?
