Hi!
I'm getting my first router.
I got everything from DeWalt (table saw, drill, impact driver, sander) and I love DeWalt.
I have two options - a 1650W Makita (RP1081FX) or 1400W DeWalt 622K.
I'm team yellow usually, but this Makita is 40$ cheaper here in eu and 250W stronger. Would you recommend me going stronger router right away?
As I can see it, I can put stronger one under a table and use it free hand. I can do same thing with the weaker one as well. As a beginner, which would you recommend me?
I will do things a beginner woodworker would do. Simple cabinets, coffee tables, cutting boards, table lamps, wall clocks, bird houses. A plan is even a wooden PC case :)
Please note that I don't have a planer yet, so for some stuff in the beginning I plan to use router with a jig as my planer.
Go big or go small? Both brands are quite good quality vise. Would 1400w version (or even weaker) suffice?
Thank you for reading and replies!
