Chuck Tool

What makes a router (tool) better than others?

I am looking to purchase a router for some crafts around the house, but I don’t know anything about chuck size, horsepower, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks.

It really depends on what you want to do with that router.

You only need a 3hp router or larger if you are going to use it as a fixed router (in a table) and very large bits.

The smallest routers are trim routers and used for light projects with small bits. They get into small places and are often used to trim things like laminate on countertops.

A basic router in the 1 to 2HP range will do almost anything you want it to, except run very large bits.

The next choice is fixed base or plunge router. If you have the money, buy one of the kits that has a single motor and both of the bases. If you don’t, buy the plunge router – it’s more versatile – if a bit heavier.

If you are going to use it a lot, consider a DeWalt, Ridgid, Makita, Porter Cable, etc. If you are going to use it a few times a year, you can get something less expensive, like a Craftsman.
