spindle moulder or router table???

I don't think that this is an 'either/or' question. I use both, and would not be without either of them.

The spinle moulder is fantastic for rebating and grooving - you can remove a huge amount in one pass and get a perfectly smooth finish.

I prefer the router table however, for intricate mouldings - particularly using bearing guided cutters.

If push came to shove, I would have to say that if I was setting up a workshop in my garage as a hobby I'd go with the router table first.

Thanks Martin. I'm having problems adjusting mine, thinks there is something wrong somewhere.

I think a natural progression is to start with a router table then move on to a spindle moulder when need dictates.
