JCB Router

[drobinson87]

Spotted this on FB marketplace, JCB Router RO2100. Spoke to her and it's just the router only, but having googled the model name, there isn't a lot of information online. Is it worth a punt for £15, providing it works fine? Are collets universal? Thanks.

My first router was an1/2" JCB router, it wasn't very expensive, did what I needed and It still works okay. Since then I have bought 3 Makita routers (all second hand) 1/2", 1/4" and a palm router which are a lot nicer to use but of course cost a lot more. If it works I would say buy it at £15, would be handy if it also has a guide fence with it but not really needed for most things I do.

Yeah, don't think it has the guide fence but for a first router, i think it would be fine.

Sorry I don't know it but maybe worth a punt at less than the price of a few pints, it's your call - & just commenting as anecdotally I remember the lawsuit between DeWalt and JCB over the yellow/black colour on powertools maybe 25 years back ... JCB won

Fun and games that was
