Your question as presented is meaningless.

If I'm breaking up a big chunk of ice for the beer cooler, the chisel works better. The router is better for shaved ice for frozen margaritas though. Ed

Well, for wild parties the router can't be beat but for a quiet evening in front of the TV a chisel would be my choice.

I like to use an ogee bit in the 3-HP Router to open old sealed-up paint cans.

I pretty much like all tools; now if I could afford at least one of EVERYTHING...sigh.

as to your question, it's lacking in specifics, Mike. Please elucidate.

I've not been able to use the router for salting the edge of the glass. Is it something in my technique?

I usually trip the breakers in my shop when I plug the chisels in.

Vodka with milk of magnesia... (scroll down)
