You will not find anything with a built in light.

I think the £229 price would be an issue for the OP as a katsu with a lidl LED key torch is aroud £35 all in, including the leccy tape

This little Makita turned up this morning, I bought it bare as I have plenty of batteries just under £160 with a case, bought it as I’ve been using a mates & ive been impressed with it & being cordless it will be ideal on site.
Oh & the lights quite good though I did turn the workshop lights off to take the photo.

Nope, sorry you still can’t.

The OP asked for a “a reasonable priced Palm router with a work light i won't be using it that much so price is an issue.”
£229 has no chance of qualifying.
probably nothing over £50, and that‘s at the expensive end.

Don't discount the katsu. I have the Makita and it's great but the Katsu has lots of happy owners on here Tim. If I had to buy again I'd probably buy the katsu and save the extra money.
Havea search under 'advanced search' on here for katsu. There's quitye a few threads about it.

I already have a Katsu router.
