Post up once it's had some use mateExactly my issue.
Just trying to find anything better than the 5% FFX voucher code ive located, and then...
re: triton / trend / hitachi etc -
From all that ive read, the triton unit pretty much is the unit to go for when using on a router table. Sure it looks like some plastic junk, but, again, from all that ive read on wood working forums, for table use, the only comparable unit is the T11 - and you still get people saying that they prefer the triton.
I dont know, I've not used either. I've got another trend router that i have no issue with. I've got Kress "routers" - which are basically the same money for a motor and a collet with no trimmings at all (but are massively reliable and repairable) and ive had cheap Silverline that were not fit for purpose.
If i thought some other unit would do the job i have for it better, than id buy that. The t11 is about £100 more, but its not like its clear cut which would be a superior purchase even if they were both the same price. The Hitachi has none of the below table features of the Triton, however, im certain that for hard every day work, slung in and out of the back of a van (etc) it would be a superior unit (i have Hitachi grinders and they just get the job done)
So, yeah, ive not walked into the router shop, and gone "Oooh, that ones orange, i like orange, it will match my nail varnish"
The few tools I've had from them have let me down with cost cutting. Be nice to know if it's worth considering.
