Hey all - I'm thinking of upgrading my tiny little router (or supplementing is more like it) with one of the 2 1/4hp units with variable speed. So, a couple of questions. First, do all routers with VS now come with feedback circuitry to allow them to develop maximum hp at their lower speeds? I know some used to only come with a VS control that did not account for load.
I'm planning on getting a kit fixed/plunge base so I can leave the fixed base in the table and have a plunge router (my current one is a fixed base). I'm also on a budget, so are there any good deals or suggestions for a good kit lately? I'm actually eying the ridgid kit, or the hitachi m12vc with additional base, but I thought I'd ask here first. Also, I do plan on doing the occasional raised panel so take that into consideration (that being said, I think I still want the smaller, more versatile router though).
Thanks!
