TREND T10ELK 1/2" Variable Speed Workshop Router and Kitbox, 2000 W, 110 V, Light

This was a replacement for my other router the more expensive tk11, which lasted about 3 weeks before the motor burnt-out unfortunately, having not registered the guarantee, took a loss there.In use so far I have found it to be no better that my other routers that cost half the price.No complaints about ordering through amazon, delivery was next dayUnfortunately this is a case of paying for the brand name, not the quality.Advice, register the guarantee and keep all the paperwork.This is an update to my previous commentI was contacted by Trend customer services, who much to my surprise agreed to replace the original faulty T11 router FCO. Full marks to the customer service team!!In all fairness to Trend here is a brief review of the T10 router, which has been in use for a couple of months and is used in a commercial joinery business.Yes it works! This is a professional router that will work all day every day as you would expect from the Trend brand.My only regret was getting the T11, which isno better than the T10, in fairness the T11 is designed to be used in a router table,The T10. As a stand alone bench router is as good as it getsI would highly recommend it, from a professional user.

I researched a number of the popular power tool makes but a friend advised that Trend was "bombproof"My experience with routers was quite limited so confidence was a little shakey. The machine with its variable motor was responsive and even though it was a solid piece of kit the router glided through the timber with hardly any effort. A worthwhile purchase and assuming you give it respect a must for any woodworker

Trend Router is an excellent machine so precise and customer friendly Trend never lets you down

Bought this and a jig as I was fitting a new kitchen in our bungalow. Used it for the masons mitre and trimming the work top. This is a professional tool, Started using it for other projects around the house. Very useful bit of kit.

High end quality product. Soft start motor is really useful

Very good router.Delivered without a plug.

Exactly the same as the DeWalt but a little cheaper, this is a fantastic router. The only minor issue is that it is pretty heavy and powerful and there will be times you need this, and times you don't. The real reason in my opinion for this router is that it will take larger bits for kitchen worktops and stairs and so on. This particular model accepts more widely available accessories than the T11, but at the same time can not accept larger diameter bits that you might use in a router table. So the T11 is better for a table, the T10 is better for hand use.The reason I bought this router over the identical DeWalt is simply that Trend support their routers better. By that I mean there are far more readily available accessories for the router than for DeWalt. Of course they are largely interchangeable so you can probably ( I have never tried this ) use the DeWalt track system with this router via the DWS50031.Anyway, all in all, an excellent device.

Used 4 times and the motor and bearings went! Buy from somewhere that gives you a warranty! Waste of money! I’d give it 0 stars if it was possible
