I have an old 1.5 hp Crapsman router that I use. But now I want to upgrade.
I'd like to have a 2 hp fixed base that takes 1/2" shanks but then I'd also
like to have a plunge router. I'd also like to have 3+hp router for a router
table. I can't afford to buy them all. Could a person buy a 3 hp plunge like
a Dewalt or Bosch and use it for everything? What is the drawback of a
plunge in a router table? Is there a router that is a good all around?
