• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

1/2 router something like Festool 1400, Dewalt 625, Trend T11

As above, 240v lightly used
please let me know
 
Sounds good, only reason i mentioned the others is the weight is resonable. I will have a look at what you mention
 
I have 4 Hitachi M12V 1/2" routers but only one is 240v which I am keeping the other three are 110v. The variable speed unit can fail and has on two of mine but you can bypass it and still use them on full power which I have done (makes very little difference most of the time). I noticed the depth of plunge is not as deep as some of the more expensive Trend routers but otherwise they are sold at an attractive price and quite poweful.
 
Thankyou for your reply but i am going 240v, i havn't had site tools for a long time but i'll never forget what a pain in the a**se it was lugging transformers about and tight plugs in sockets etc😓

A lot of people are moving over to battery power on sites. I was not thinking of selling the 110v routers as they are not worth a lot second hand just giving my thoughts on the Hitachi MV12 as a have so many LoL.
 
If you can find one, take a look at tbe deWalt DW622 - same size as a DW621 (so smaller and lighter than the average 1/2in router), 1400 watts, excellent dust extraction through the left hand column. Downsides are the odd sized guide bushes (shared with the Makita RP1110 and the DW626), the slightly undersized base and the oddball switch (although I quite like it)
