Thanks to all for the advice. I agree you get what you pay for. I
was considereing a cheapie router, as I have never used one, so
thought I'd get a cheapie to see how much I would use it and then go
for a good one if the answer was a lot!

I'd never used a router until a couple of years back. After asking a joiner
to do a small finishing job for me and him telling me to borrow the router
and do it myself, I then got the bug I went out and did the same as you're
thinking now, I'll get a cheap one to see how it goes. After using the
cheap one until it died, I went out and got myself a Bosch industrial one
that goes from low speed to high speed and does all the table tops, the
board edges, the fancy bit for repairing skirting boards and door facings.
All in all, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be without it now. The
amount of work it has brought in from friends and relatives is also paying
for its up-keep. :-))
