Blacktown Hailstorm = written off car = new machinery...
The hail hit us at the right time - right when I got a new job that no longer required the second car, so with the car being insured for double what we paid there was a bit left over and the following are on their way...
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
(unless you can all convince me the Trition Router is significantly better)

Great choices there, but would have gone for the big Triton Router, you won't regret it!

I have the axminster white router, pictured above and if I could do it all again I would buy the triton.
Save your money in the long term, buy the triton.

I have the same router as yours and the triton as well.... mounted the triton in the router extension table on the cabinet saw.... and use the small router with the the Leigh jigs, being light weight I find it excellent to use. BTW great lot of tools.

No point messing about... NIKE®(good motto)
Got some good gear there, Im with Flexie the white router isn't the best but it works. Go the triton or a decent Mak if you can get a refund?

Nice machines, great pick up. I too would have went the Triton router. Hope you got a good discount buying all that stuff.

What part of Blacktown? (I was a Blacktown-ite until about 8 years ago).
Currently trying to sell a place in Kings Langley, but it looks a bit ugly with tarps on the roof until the insurance co. gets around to fixing the cracked tiles.
Hopefully I'll have a gloat post like this once the house sells
Oh, and from what I've seen in reviews, go the Triton!
And get a SuperJaws!!
Cheers,
Andrew

[sigh] Wonder if I can over-insure the thing up on bricks out the back?
As for the router... if it's going under table the big Triton would be my choice, too. 'Tis too awkward for comfortable hand-held use though; for that I prefer my Hitachi TR-12 (just to throw another into the mix) but I also have an Axminster clone for on-site use and I've no complaints about it.
