I agree also on the router. heavier is good. As is more power. Plenty of outfits make good routers these days. Porter-Cable. Hitachi. Makita, etc.
I have my 3 HP Elu mounted under a router table, which is very handy for doing moldings and profiles, etc.

By the way, SeedsB…I am interested in woods. Do you happen to know what species of cedar you're using? Spanish? Of course, I just learned there are many, many species of it down that way.
