I would adviseyou to buy a 1 1/2 HP router to start with, Something like the Porter Cable 690. If you can afford it the have a kit now which will give
you different bases for the same motor unit, ie a plunge base, a fixed base etc. Later on you may get into doing some heavy work, that's when you may
want a multi speed router with more HP. Dewalt also makes some nice routers
like the 625.
Hope this helps, Woodnut65
