 Full-sized router or palm (trim) router for this job?
Hello,
This is probably an easy question for most of you pros.
If I want to put a chamfer on all four edges of a piece of 1/4 inch thick mahogany that's about 6 inches by 8 inches, am I better off using a palm router (some call it a trim router), or am I better off using a standard size (say 2 1/4 HP) router? I'd be doing this by hand. Of course, the chamfer will be a full chamfer, since I'm dealing with only a 1/4 inch thick edge.
In other words, is a full-sized router too heavy for the thin material that I'll be chamfering, or would it be fine to use a full-sized router?
