1.5 h.p. should be good if your only going to use it once in a while.

Really, just about any name-brand router wont be a bad choice...my hitachi is great and hasnt had a hitch. It was even left out in the rain, after I let it dry out infront of a fan over night it was up and ready the next day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i like dewalt tools so that's what i am leaning towards. i figured that wu501, so that's what i might go with. why spend the extra $$$ if i don't have to?

I'm in the market for a new Router.

I was wondering the same thing.

I'm looking to spend like $80 bucks. I was thinking of grabbing a Craftsman from Sears. So if that ish breaks, I cn take it right back.

But, with lower horsepower, I suppose it just takes more patience when cutting wood, right?

So you don't rush it and jam the bit... or am I just wrong?

I have 5 Ryobi routers, and love them. Very well built tools, and VERY reasonably priced. I picked up 4 fixed base models in the last couple years for $69 per. I use them quite a bit, and have had 0 issues with them.

Where did you get them for $69 bucks?

And would you like to sell me one for $70? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

That's a $1 dollar profit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
