Hi guys,
I am putting together a router table. Cast iron top, Jessem heavy duty fence, lift and 2.5hp round body motor.
I can currently get a 1/4hp power feeder on clearance for $399 aud down from $999-, so about $280 USD vs $680 USD and am wondering if it's a good idea.
My main concern is the feed speed which may be too fast for larger cuts (like a large stile bit for a door) for the motor and bearings to handle. The minimum feed speed is 17ft/min on this feeder.
Is it handy to have on a router table? I imagine that it may be handy to climb cut using it occasionally where tear ojt might be an issue, and for general batch processing of T&G boards etc?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Dom
