Palm router, full-size plunge router or hand tools?

A palm router like the 1.25 HP Palm Router handles edges, chamfers and laminate with 1/4 in bits. A full-size plunge router takes 1/2 in bits for deep cuts. Hand planes and chisels are quiet and slow.

Bit shank	1/4 in (and 6 mm on ours)	1/4 in and 1/2 in	No bits
Best at	Edges, chamfers, laminate, hinges	Deep grooves and joinery	Fitting one part by hand
One-hand use	Yes	No, two handles	Yes
Better choice when	Your work is edge profiles and trim	You cut deep dadoes and mortises	You fit one door or one drawer
