A 7518 is an excellent choice for router tables. Too much power? No.
Select the speed you need for the bit in use. The larger diameter bits
use slower speeds.

I have interest in a drop in router for a Jessem Master Lift which I
already own. So I am in need of a motor only.

My main use is for template cutting of 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" cast
acrylic sheeting, so either a 2 1/4 PC 890 or 3 1/4 7518 PC router will
fit nicely into the unit.

The price is really a wash after I buy the adapter bracket for the
smaller motors.

Is there such a thing as to much power for using a spiral up cut bit
for template or edging round off work?

If not it seems to make most sense to mount the 7518 permanantly to
have a more versatile set up.

Thanks for any helpful input.
