I would like to try some wood carving with a router (signs & such) but I'm not sure what kind of router would be the better choice. I currently have a Dewalt 625 (3HP plunge) in my table but I was thinking something smaller would be better for carving out the lettering or doing more detail work. Grizzly has a 1 HP plunge router for $59 or would a smaller fixed base router be better? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have no real artistic talent so I would be using templates or something similar.
Thanks...mitch
