I have an upcoming staircase project that involves a 1" bullnose router bit. My old craftsman 1/4" collet router doesn't seem to cut it here. I have a very nice router table to mount a big router to. Which router would you recommend? This router will not be heavily used. I do one to two projects a year, but I would like the option of doing raised panels with it. I'm thinking something along the lines of 2 1/2 hp. For the router table, should I use a drop in insert (so I can lift the whole assembly for bit changes, etc), or should I look for a model with excellent above table height and bit changes?

Thanks,
Steve
