Hi,
If you had a choice between the Dewalt 3hp or the 2hp plunger router which router would you buy?
I’ve finally saved up enough money to purchase a dedicated plunger router. I’ll mostly be using it to rout mortises. Then again maybe I should be considering buying a bench top mortising machine. But I figure a router can cut mortises just fine.Plus a router is easier to store. I am limited when it comes to shop space.
What is the best router for mortising?

the Best
"The Best" of anything is usually a matter of personal opinion based on criteria that also varies between the opinionators.
Personally, I'd opt for a lighter two-ish HP router for mortises. Easier to handle, which often equates to easier to control.
Oddly, horsepower demand is slight whilst morticing. Shallow, multiple whacks, easy on the machine & fast.
