router recomendation

Hi All,

I'm starting to look at rounters for my table.

I'll be cutting 0.08" aluminum as well as wood.
The aluminum is only cutting shapes, not contours.

Since I'll be doing a lot of cutting, can anybody offer their
experiances with longevity ?

I did my test cuts with an old Craftsman 1 hp model to verify that my
clamping will work and that parts can be cut. It worked well, but I
am wondering if I should move up to a higher hp unit.
