I have a table with a Craftsman 1/4" router attached. I would like to get rail and stile bits for it, but most of them I see are 1/2 inch.
My first observation would be that a 1/4 inch router might be undersized to do this work. This router is a base model "homeowners" edition. Nothing fancy. Just 1 1/2 HP
I guess my question is should I get a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch adapter, and if I do, will the router handle the amount of material I want to remove. Or should I just keep using mortise and tenon joints like I have been.
MY thoughts are that since I have the router table built now and that I am starting to get back into woodworking, there are a lot of joints that I would like to attempt, but I want to make sure I have the right equipment.
Have to take the LOML grocery shopping, so I will be back later today. Thanks in advance.
