lockdown801 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 This is a lame question but will this router do the job for now? Need to cut some 3/4 inch mdf or birch. Trying to keep my costs down. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-1-2-half-hp-variable-speed-plunge-router-67119.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGD502 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Well the differance you're going to see between that and say a porter cable router are the router heating up, being louder, not lasting as long, and not running as smooth from my personal experiences but I'd say it will get the job done for now. I must say it does look nice though maybe it'll prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
