I know there are wood working sites, but I enjoy the collective knowledge of TBN.
I have a cabinet makers table saw. And there is a mount for a router. I would like to make new kitchen cabinets over the winter. So I need advice on routers that would handle the demands. The router set up would be for making paneled doors.
Things I know:
1/ should have 1/2" shank
2/ micro adjust
3/ able to fit table saw.
A local supplier has the following on sale. They also have a cabinet bit set for around $109.00 I have used routers for making trim and I do have an old Delta 1/2" shaper with a few odd bits.
Would the Porter Cable router outlined below work for me?
Many thanks....
