I'm going to be doing some routing on vertical surfaces and
am wondering what the lightest weight "quality" 1.75 hp router would be?

This Festool model is described as " compact and easy to maneuver "
but weighs in at 3 kg < 6.6 lbs >

My first router was a little plastic B&D - nobody's idea of quality
but it was certainly light weight and it would spin little sharp
things around real fast :

guide/hold the router, similar to how they cut concrete walls? If you don't have to free
hand it, the weight might be as much of a factor.

You actually don't want a router that powerful to be too light, so a
fixture or a constant-force suspension of some kind may be needed.
