Hi, it's good to see some positive words said about the trend as this does seem like the perfect solution for me.
The Triton just looks hurendous and horrible if I want to use handheld.
The dewalt 625 obs have a good reputation as a solid router but I have to but a router Raizer and insert plate and fit it all together and make it work.
The Makita 2301/3 again looks good but apparently the above table adjustment seems a bit crude and again need to sort out an insert plate.
The trend on the other hand seems like it's designed with table use in mind just as much as a handheld with the decent height adjustment and they sell the own plate to go with it. The router has decent power too.

Do you use the built in dust extraction when mounted in a table I'm wondering how this performs using this compared to extraction on a fence or whether it interferes with plunging to full depth and being able to change bits?

If I had a spare £800 then yes I'd buy a dedicated router motor and lift but I can't justify paying that.

I have a local dealer that selss trend so maybe I'll take a chance and get one from there and if there's any issues I can easily get it sorted.
