I have the router mentioned above. I need to make raised panels for storm shutters. I also have the Festool track saw, jig saw and older MFT table. I am more of a hand tool guy but I want to get these shutters made as quick as possible. I have eight 8 glued up panels (24 1/2" x 10 1/4" x 7/8" thick). The raised area will be about 1 1/4" wide, leaving a 3/16-1/4" deep x 1/4+" rabbet or tongue & groove on the edge.
I am wondering if the 1400 router will handle bits of the size necessary to make these panels? There is quite a selection of bits for this work. I am wondering which might work on the MFT table and fence without risking damage to the router or my tender body?
