Never had any power problem with this router and i use it almost every days. be careful with the sharpness and quality of the router bits and everything should be fine.

I've used mine to route 1/2" and 3/4" mortises in Black Walnut and Cherry. Never had a problem with tear out or burning. Seems like it should work for you. It normally take at most 1/4" to 3/8" per pass though. Can't comment on taking deeper passes. Hope that helps.

I don't believe you will have any problem. Have had this router for a few months and power is not an issue for hardwoods.

I believe it is rated at 2 1/2 hp but I'm not 100% sure. Festool has a 30 day no questions money back. However you must return it to the merchant you purchased it from.

I have never been disappointed with the performance of this router and have never had it bog down on any of my projects. Remember that if you order the tool and find that it does not perform to your expectations, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. I believe that if you purchase this tool, you won't be disappointed, but you have the money back guarantee to fall back on if you are.

Much more efficient than HPS, even to run two of these units to replace one 600W HPS only uses about 340W.Plus think about the energy costs you will save on cooling and ventilation, HPS is HOT, LEDs are at their worst warm.

Horsepower can be converted into watts by remembering 1 HP = 746.70 watts. Doing the math, 3250/746.7 = 4.35 HP. But remember, there is inrush current on a motor, the normal extra current it takes to get a motor started. I'd say the best you can probably truly expect this generator to handle is maybe a 3 HP motor. Hope that helps. Ron

I use mine to run an Asus computer that controls My Ham gear so it is loafing along at less than 300 watts. I use an HP laptop for most other things because it uses 80 watts. You will need lots of batteries to keep that computer going at that power level. Hope this answers your question.

I do not know, though it worked well for the router that I purchased it for. Since then I have been switched to another type of router by my internet provider. My thoughts are if the amps and volts are close it is worth it to purchase, but be sure they are very close, not like 8 & 9 volts but rather like 8.5 & 8.6 or if it is amps that they are like 12.5 and 12.7 amps. I would not go further than 1 or 2 tenths of an am or volt apart. The difference is between what is recommended by the manufacturer and what you are finding available.

This grinder runs (under no load) at 600 Watts and runs between 600 Watts and 1200 Watts (under load). The peak output power of this product is 3000 Watts and the mathematical equation for conversion of Watts into HP is 1HP = 746 Watts. 3000 Watts divided by 746 equals over a 4 HP "Rating", but please note that this grinder does NOT have a 4 HP motor in it. This is a "RATING ONLY" and is not to be confused with the motors that come in Commerical/Industrial Meat Grinders that have actual 1 HP to sometimes 1.5 HP motors in them. The actual HP of the motor in this grinder is just under 3/4 HP. Regards, Jim The Mercantile Station What we can tell you is that if you were to fasten this grinder to a table and try to hold onto the auger while it was running, the high torque of this machine would either break your wrist or flip you upside down!!!

It's not safe to use a 1/2 inch bit on a small horsepower router like this one. For my workshop, I bit the bullet and bought a 3HP Porter Cable & built a sturdy table in which to permanently mount it. I've never looked back. Done door panels and dovetails and all kinds of mouldings with the big router, and this little one lives in the table's drawer along with its 1/4" bits 'til I need it for laminates and other edging jobs. Have had both routers for close to 20 years and they're still going strong. Buy the right machine for the job, you won't be sorry you did.

Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using. I have a big CPU cooler and this graphic card and I was reading 300 or so watts at the wall receptacle. I lean the way of others. While you could probably get by for a while with your power supply, solid voltage = stability in the computer world. If your PS is always near its limit, you may run in a lot of issues. A PS is fairly cheap and easy to install. I have a seatronic 750 S series to give me room for expansion in the future but it may be an overkill. A good 650 would be just fine for sure.Regards Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using.

The linksys website says the router is built with high power amplifiers and is designed to achieve ultimate range and it also states in '*' that Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance depends upon many factors, conditions and variables, including products used, interference and other adverse conditions. I no longer own the router.

I don't know if I would necessarily draw the conclusion that the router is no good. Wireless network setup can befuddle most novice users (and can even make experienced users pull their hair out). The #1 mistake most of the reviewers on here make is that they don't upgrade the firmware as the first step. That goes for any router though. It took me about 2 days of research before deciding in this router. I just ordered it though, and it won't arrive until Wednesday, so I can't give you my feedback on it yet.

Didn't see the specs anywhere, but I'll say it has average range compared to other routers I have, but I'd recommend a small to small/medium home. For the price it definitely has a good range for the value, but if you have a medium or large home i'd say to spend more money for the longer range (this is an older router now). It works perfect in my girlfriend's small/medium apartment. But with any wifi router remember that cement or brick walls kill the range more than regular wood/drywall walls, and the signals get weaker the higher you go above the router, so try to put the router up high if you can.

This supply provides up to 850 Watts of 120 volt power on 110 volts or 1000 Watts of 12 volt power on 240 voltsYou can't make 1000watts at 110 (120v) you get ~70amps at 12v when running off 110 (found in most homes in the US)850(watts out)/120(volts in)=7amps(current draw) + 20%(80% efficiency) =9.2 amps(wall current) most houses are rated 20amps for a room. Add in networking gear lights fans. You can over run the house wiring fast. That said I am running two miners that are ~400watts a peace off one of these with no ill effects. (Month 5 for me.)

You're welcome, Joel !! If you have any questions about my Router Comparison, please post them here. I'll do whatever I can to help you get the info you need to make a wise and frugal choice. During my extensive testing, the main concern has been to get the best overall performance -- as measured by range, operating temperatures, connection speeds, connectivity, latency, packet loss, jitter, V.O.I.P., ease of setup, and physical appearance, too.

As others have stated, any router can be set-up on a table. I believe Rockler woodworking sells a plate for a small table. The real question is what type of work you plan to do with the router... The DeWalt DW P611 is a great little router. I use one on a CNC router... doing very fine detail work. It does, however, have limitations. Serious woodworkers usually prefer a router with a 1/2" collet. The 1/2" bits are more robust and come in a wide selection of profiles... and with an adapter, 1/4" bits can be used... adding versatility. As for power, if for example, you will be making door panels, the Dewalt would not be a good choice. I have 3 1/2" routers in the 2 1/2 to 3 hp range. Another nice feature to consider is a "plunge" Again, it all depends what you plan to use it for...

The horsepower rating of your router shouldn't have anything to do with that vibration. If your router normally does not vibrate, then I would suspect that the router bit is not perfectly straight (causing a wobble), or it is not inserted correctly and tightened sufficiently.

No this is not a gigabit router, Mark. Just 10/100. There are a lot of things we need to consider before we can recommend a router. It's better if you check this out: http://goo.gl/ReUk4e

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...
