Hi,
I'm in the market for my first Festool router. I'm torn between the Festool 1010 and the 1400. For those of you who have experience with both, can you tell me which you prefer?
I should say that I do not own any router bits at the moment, so am not bothered that I can't use 1/2" bits with the 1010. Also, I don't do any edge profiling, so I'm not too concerned with not being able to find a wide range of shapes in the hard to find 8mm size. I will only be using this router for dados and rabbets and maybe some small chamfering. I should also say that I'm not looking for a do everything router.
What I'd really like to know is if you think the 1010 would be powerful enough with 8mm bits to cut 3/4" dados and rabbets. Also, just generally why you prefer one over the other.
Thanks!
