best router for router table

[pat warner]

There is no best router for a router table!
They're all compromises.
Not one of the 70+ routers are made for exclusive table use.
So just get a big motor with VS.

The external control I use from MLCS claims to have electronic feedback....

They certainly beat running at only full speed, but I found I had to watch the feed rate carefully and maybe set a higher initial RPM to avoid bogging down. I've never investigated how the integrated type manage to work so much better. They may actually sense RPM or perhaps they're just better tuned to the particular motor characteristics.
