Default dado blade set vs. router

ROUTER IS BETTER AND SAFER.
WITH A SAWBLADE ON A TABLE SAW YOU CAN NOT SEE WHAT IS GOING ON THE THE
WOOD, HOW BAD IT IS CHIPPING, TEARING ETC.

ROTARY CUTTING WITH A ROUTER SOLVES THIS PROBLEM.

ONE SUGGESTION ON THE CHOICE OF ROUTER.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED ONE GO FOR A LESSER HP 1/4 ROUTER. LESS $$, AND
EASIER TO CONTROLL THAN SOME OF THE BIGGIES.
ALSO DUE TO THE LOWER HP YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP YOU CUTTERS SHARP, WHICH
GIVES YOU A CLEANER CUT. I HAVE A 3HP MONSTER THAT I SELDOM USE. I CAN PUT
THE WORLDS DULLEST BIT IN IT AND "BURN" MY WAY THROUGH ANYTHING. WOOD,
CONCREAT, REBAR. I KEEP USEING MY OLD BLACK AND DECKER 1/4" 1/4 HP 1950'S
ROUTER.

GOOD LUCK

wow thanks for all the replys guys, that was pretty quick. I was thinking

of
using a 3/4" sheet for the sides of the microwave cart with 1/2 for the
shelves. Is there decent routers available in the $100 range?
