Ok I finally bought the table saw, now it's time for the router.
What should I look for in a router?
What's the minimum hp to look for: 1 1/2? 1 3/4 or more?
Fixed base or Plunge base? What types of applications will I need a plunge for? Is a fixed base router with a plunge attachment ok?
What size collet? Just what does a collet do anyway?
Should I make my own router table or buy one? The ones I see advertised look cheap and not very stable.
I read in some of the other posts the Dewalt 616 with is a good all around router but just want to get some input into what I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance for answering my probably very stupid questions.
