Hi all
I have a cheap and cheerful, free-standing router table. I use a 1/2" router. It works OK but I'd like to get something a little better, so -
Is a 10mm thick aluminium plate the thing to go for?
Is a 1/2" router really necessary for small, light routing or would a 1/4" router bo OK for most projects? (mine is hobby stuff with ply and pine mostly, although I have a slab of mahogany waiting for a project).
I can see that it makes life easier to have a router lift. Are they worth it and do they give you better setting and control of router height?
Are there any other DIYers out there that have got router inserts, with a lift, who could recommend their choices?
Any helpful information or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
