I need to get a router to do some joints on laminate worktops, and also a couple of other minor projects I have. The worktops will be the most demanding.
What is the minimum wattage I can get away with for the worktop joints? I dont want to spend too much, as I wont be using on a regular basis, I just need it for these tasks.
Seems that Bosch 1400w can be had for around £80, but not sure if that is enough power.
Otherwise, silverline do a 2050W one for around £70, which nothing else can get close to on price. But, it gets poor reviews. Then again I only want to use it a few times so dont want to pay a lot for something OTT. The silverline also comes with a 3 years warranty - so can it really be that bad?
Any other ideas, or suggestions? Has anyone had experience of these?
P.S. would probably get a silverline worktop jig at same time - again, has anyone any experience of these, or other recommendations at low price. Will be used for 2 joints, nothing more, so doesn't need to last.
Thanks
