Hi Martin

They are both the same HP,,, that's the key with most Craftsman routers, but they made so many from 1/2 Hp to 3 1/4Hp and all diff.in some way...
I think they put out a request from the router Mfg. for 10,000 or so and the low bidder gets the work that year and next year they do the same thing over and they get a new model but stil call it a Craftsman router but it's not the same as the last model they had made...I don't recalling see any work up list on the phisical size of the motors or base frames...just the normal stuff amp.,volts,HP,hrz.,etc.

The 2 new craftsmans I have are copys of the PC so close the motors can switch with the Porter Cable motor base...
