I’m DIY and never used a router before but always fancied one in the kit. I only have 2ah batteries and they don’t last long. So satisfying to use. Can totally recommend.
Dust extraction pretty good too. Made a handrail and rounded over all the touch points. But with practice and care it’s easy to achieve good neat results pretty quickly. Looking for jobs I can do with it now.
I bought a cheap set of bits and suspect I might get even neater results with more expensive bits. I didn’t time it and obviously you’re not using it constantly but I reckon it’s about ten minutes running time under work. Made just one error where the blade dug in. I’m doing some out of sight work in the loft so was able to practice without too much worry.
So if I was doing big jobs or repetitive work I’d invest in some 4 or 5 ah batteries. That’s the only thing. I absolute loved using it.
But I have a few 2ah, enough to keep one on the charger permanently, so these will do for now.
