What power would you expect for a 1/2" router and what minimum and

Thanks.



Sorry to add to my own post but for that matter what speeds would you
want on a 1/4" router?


You don't have the clearance for the larger cutters with these, so the
lower speed limit is less critical. Most cuts would be done at 15K or
more. Something like a Trend T5 does 9000 - 27,000 rpm which is quite
impressive. (these have dropped in price quite a bit lately).
