Never going to use it

Have a surplus of routers

Actually read the book for a change, got some practice time in, I like it , might be using it a lot more than I thought so good suggestion @Al Strachan on the table as a good jig setup already seems pretty key for accurate/repeat stuff, although the fence on this seems pretty good.

It's a good little trimmer, but not a good router

I recently picked up one of these Katsu trimmers with the plunge and tilt base.

Can't fault it really for the price.

Ok its not premium but it's done very well chopping 8mm deep rebates in ply with a 16mm bit, 3/8 roundovers on pine, brilliant in Palm form for doing hinges etc.

It's not supposed to be a 1/2" beast but it's quite happily doing everything I ask of it whilst being half the size of the 1/2".

I have 2 katsu routers they are pretty good

A router does the hinges, b router does the locks.

I was actually thinking it would be well worth having a "fleet" of them for less bit changes.
