WOOD WORKING HAND TOOLS

What type of router (Tool) do I need for guitars?
I work with guitars a lot and sometimes I need to cut wood slots, but a dremle is too slow and messy or my hands can’t control it. Anyway I don’t want a cheap power tool, I want something I can use for years.
I saw some routers, but they say stuff like 3/4, 3 3/4 and sizes like that. What does that mean?
I also ran a search through yahoo answers and people spoke about plunge or bushings and other stuff. I need a detailed answer, because I don’t know much on power tools except for power drills.
Thanks.
Dremel is probably the right product. You want to look at the larger ones. I would recommend the 4000 High Performance model. There are many atachments for it, including a router head, cut off head, drill press and tons more…. even a saw-zall attachment.
For the delicate work on a guitar, I would think this would be the ticket. If you need something bigger, Roto Zip has a similar tool, but bigger. But I think it would be too heavy for the type of work you are talking about. To keep it under control as opposed to hand control, look at the router attachment with bench (these sit on top of desk top about 10″ wide X 10″ deep X 8″ tall (estimated)) Also, you can do a lot with the drill press, which also sits on a desktop.
