    Default Looking for router recommendations

    As some of you might have seen I broke the taurus router, and so I'm looking for a replacement.
    It'll see occasional use, and have no real budget. maybe something under around $200?

    Have a look on Ebay and Gumtree for a used Makita or Hitachi. There's usually quite a few available in different sizes, some of them look like they've hardly been used.

    Also have a look at Cashconverters. Here is one example https://webshop.cashconverters.com.a...0w-220v-router You might be able to negotiate the price down further but this one looks a pretty reasonable buy.

    New - there's a makita MT series 1650w 1/2 collet that's $150
    https://www.makita.com.au/products/p...-plunge-router

    and this one from eBay looks a lot like a Makita !!!
