Default router size question

I agree - right now I have a 2 1/4 HP Dewalt with plunge and fixed
bases. It's never bogged down on me, but if I had the opportunity to
pick up one for a good price that was the same or larger to leave in
the table, I definitely would.
If you don't have a table, I'd recommend making one - plenty of ideas
online. Mine is a 2x4 frame with a piece of formica countertop for the
table and a MDF fence. Dust collection is one advantage to the table,
in addition to control (and therefore safety), convenience, and
accuracy.
Stay safe,
Andy
