I was looking around for a large fixed base router, for a

Does anyone know of a larger fixed base, handheld router?

220V wouldn't be a problem.

BTY you can buy just the motor for the PC if that is all you are
interested in.


Thanks

It would be used as a handheld, the milwaukee looks good, it goes to the
top of the list. Wanting a large router is more about duty cycle than the
actual load per cut. Intended use would be to cut about 8, .5" deep X
1.75" wide dadoes across 4" stock a minute, if the job became higher
volume, then custom
machinery would be brought into play.
