Re: trim routers

Hi

I use a Trend T3 router which is 550W vari speed. The body is dismountable
and has a 43mm standard (at least in Europe :-) collar.
Bosch also make a similar router - the POF500A.
There are also a bunch of die grinders that have the same mounting -
Metabo/Kress etc come to mind - Metabo being the Rolls-Royce of this type.

The 43mm collar is fairly standard on dismountable routers, corded drills
and die grinders in Europe.

Stay away from trim routers, the front bearing is occasionally mounted in a
rubber shock - it floats all over the place (I know, I've still got one in a
cupboard I bought! Not sure about the Rotozip type of machines - they may
have a 43mm collar, but unlikely as they evolved from the US I think.

Cheers

Neil
