Cross wires here - I was looking at the other items on offer from that ebay seller - one is a Trend T9 for £75 which is a good price albeit a reconditioned one.
By the way that £10 price if for a T3 case with no router!

Can anyone offer opinions of the T3.

I'm tempted to get a pair to use with my leigh dovetail jig. Soon one of my routers will have a new home in a table and having a pair of routers set up at the same time make the leigh easier to use.

Are they up to dovetail use?

TIA

Nope and the switch will go after about 5 minutes. I have a rack of these, bought one, switch went... (power stays on what ever the switch position, Trend confirmed this was a problem with this model)

got replaced, switch went...

got replaced, switch went...

got replaced, switch went...

got replaced, switch went...

I can go all night :wink:

Thanks Andy,

Valuable info. I can get Bosch ones cheaper and I know what they can do (and not!)

I can go all night :wink:

Possibly more than we needed to know!!
