I have been going through routers, since making a new product for a customer, material is 2x8 pine boards cutting all the way through, usually once a week, I am running the machine almost 8 or 9 hours a day. I have been using 2hp craftsman routers, getting to be a pain losing routers, I have been looking at converting to a spindle - I do not know a lot about them. a few of the less expensive ones are around 400w-500w. Not sure how much wattage I need to go with to work with the wood that I need to make the projects for my customer.
Is there a router similar to the craftsman that would hold up better?
If I look at going with a spindle, what specs should I look for to replace the craftsman router?
If any other info is needed to help answer my question, just ask
thanks
Bobby
