Most of the Leigh demonstrators I've seen use a small Festool router. I use a Triton MOF001, bought specially for the job, which is great.
However, if you get (or have got) Leigh's router support/vacuum bar, it transforms the jig and virtually any router becomes usable.

Thanks guys,
I have the vacum support so it seem anything reasonably powerful goes.
I will have a look around for a 1/2 inch router (which takes Porter Cable guide bushings as I fancy having a go at some pattern routing as well).
Now where is my Bunnings catalogue........
