Default Plunge v Fixed Base Router

That site is sweet. Even thought it did the raised panel door the
"Router Workshop Guys" (or one of them at least) say you should get at
least a 2.5 HP router for that. Even the guy on that website it bogged
down the motor momentarily. Even though the motor 'wound' back up that
doesn't sound good to me - you don't think that's a problem?

Wow, I got more hits than misses. I'm in the market for a router and my
uncle (pro woodworker) recommended the Porter-Cable with the dual
fixed/plunge bases.

Belt Sander: Skil -- piece of crap
Drill: DeWalt -- love it, but I bought the really nice one
Recip. Saw: Milwaukee -- love it; i can saw through a Buick with it
Circular Saw: Skil -- the first power tool I ever bought
Band Saw: Craftsman -- not very good, but works well enough for most
of my
projects
