This Makita router is the Botox! Over £100 quids worth of Trend latch jig but worth it's weight, supplied with over a dozen templates for didn't make latches. Making life SO much easier.
I bought it from a local toolshop to me, they deal with everything from Trend.
Here's a link to show you what it's all about

It's a game changer, and that's coming from the old school hammer and chisel person too! It's primarily a trimmer but you buy the other body with the handles to convert to a router. The jig for the hinges is from Trend, along with a Trend corner cutter as the router leaves half rounds where the...
Bought these the last couple of weeks, sacking off the old cordless tools and gone with the Makita 18V range, next on the list is a planer, then a skill saw.
The trimmer is also a router so that makes doing door hinges and locks so much easier, it certainly opens up options for small joinery...

I'm soo tempted to buy my friends, this could be my only opportunity to get back into one before prices potentially get out off hand.... Even more! It comes with over a grands worth of spares including a couple of sets of wheels one set a Williams. My heart says it would be soo cool to get it...
I need a suitable storage space for it, I'd also have to buy my way out the finance agreement as there'll be a difference between the Meganes value and the outstanding balance. Doable
I've been offered a Glacier White H plate, owned by a friend for the last 13 years, always garaged. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, give the Megane back and invest in a little bit of got hatch history
