I bought the Beall wood threading kit and it came in yesterday so of course am playing with it today!! I see a great need for a router with a micro adjustment on it. So have narrowed it down to a pair of routers as it will probably stay on the wood threading jig. Here they are:
A Bosch 1 HP Colt Palm Router

A DeWalt 5 Amp Fixed Heavy-Duty Compact Router
http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...roductId=1072533&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=sim
So, if I read correctly, both have the micro adjustment on them. (even though the DeWalt is a fixed base?)
So how does the 1 HP rating compare to the 5 Amp rating? I just don't know how to finish the comparison and decide. I guess I am leaning towards the Bosch. Anyone have any suggestions? They are to closely priced to worry about that.
