Cheap router and jig


A mate informed that www.protrade.co.uk have two good routers goin
cheap. I may be in the market for one of these soon as I am doing th
kitchen. The Ryobi for £233 and a Makita for £280. They give a workto
jig "free" with these routers. Normally they are about £100. This mean
the Ryobi is £133, and the Makita £180 which is cheap for such routers


The usual disclaimer. I have no connection with Protrade

Only if you need a worktop jig to begin with.

Hi there, my first post.

I notice that toolstation are knocking mdf jigs out cheap - £18.50 -
so it's probably one of those.

Depends whether you'll need all the functionality (peninsula, 135o
etc) of a more expensive bit of kit...

I just bought the other one on that page at ~£28 and it looks like
it'll do the business.

Borrowed a Makita 3612 from a mate and spent £8 + £2.50 p&p at
tooled-up.com for a 30mm bush - cheapest I could find it. I've spent
months amassing all the bits and pieces, and now am in a position to
procrastinate and wait for the nagging to start.

Cheers
Andrew
