Does it really matter on a router this size though? I dont know I wouldnt

these under 2hp routers with vs a marketing gimmick. You need more power
IMHO.


One can take a lighter cut with the smaller routers while using big
bits. The bit still needs to be slowed down, and the work will take
longer. The end results can still be perfect, just as they would with
a larger machine.

If someone is going to spin large bits all the time, I'm with you, get
a bigger router. But for the average Joe, I find VS much more than
a marketing gimmick, even on a 2 HP machine.
