unless you want to increase to around £200 then trend dewalt and the the other big boys toys come into play on specials

what exactly do you want to use the router for!!

I'm laying some reclaimed maple flooring. Initially I was thinking of buying a biscuit jointer to butt cut ends together. However someone suggested a bench router might be more useful. I need some kit to create tonge and groove on cut planks and secondly to clean out any adhesive on ends. Just thought router would be more useful. Any other thoughts please.

if you never plan to cut worktops or make your own doors then a 1/4 inch will be easier to use in hand
as you mention table then you realy need a 1/2" router
iff most off your work is going to be freehand then a 1/2" is rather a large beestie for the job ;)
