What router for kitchen worktops

[Ratty80]

Hi, would really appreciate some advice on what router to buy.

I have done a carpentry apprenticeship about 5 years ago and hope to get back into doing it, though at the moment am just fitting my own kitchen.

I want to buy a router for the worktop joins so just after some recommendations. I want it to be good and last though not too OTT.

I have just bought of eBay a trend 66 worktop jig that I'm a bit apprehensive about as it only cuts 2 bolt holes but the reviews are very good so hopefully will be ok.

I remember from my apprenticeship that the guy I worked for had 2 routers one small router for the biscuits and another big one for the joins. I hope I don't need to buy 2.

I'm thinking about the makita rp1801. Has anyone used this?

Also what cutters should I go for?

Any advice would be a massive help as it's a long time since I've used these tools.

lot of power needed :1/2 collet and minimum 2000 watt electric brake is handy for connector grooves this will also do biscuit joints In my opinion a better job than biscuit jointer, for router cutters give wealden tool company a ring great technical help
