Woodsmith style router miller experience anyone?

[Meticularius]

Has anyone made one of the woodsmith plans style router milling machines or anything similar? I have a design in progress and need to decide whether to use a 1 1/4HP plunge router or a 2/3HP trimmer router. This is strictly a hobby project for machining ornamental table legs etc. so speed and so on aren't necessarily a very high priority.

I have not made one of these wondefrul machines; however, I am on the side of "Tim, The Tool Man Taylor, from Home Improvement years ago. Power!. I prefer to have a little too much that I can alter downward, instead of having too little. Machining ornamental legs may require torque that the smaller router doesn't have. I always use the "Binford 280ZX," for all my projects (meaning the most I can get for my money at the time).
