@@georgiemae11 well I'd say if your wanting something to mount to a table the Triton is probably your best choice as they are specifically de for that with the above table adjacent system. 😊
This is the same as the Trend T7EK even down to the accessories but retails at about 20 pounds cheaper. My experience with Erbauer tools is a fairly positive one, they are generally good value for money and ideal for the casual DIYer and hobbyist.
Hi Karl. I really enjoyed watching the video. I'm the Quality Manager for the Own Brand power tools (Erbauer, Macallister, Titan and Performance Power) in Screwfix and B&Q. It was great to see you going into a good amount of detail and I'm very happy that you like the router. You are correct, the parallel guide fine adjust can be fiddly but it does work well when you get used to it. I'll be having a look at your other videos for any more of my products. Nice one!
Great review Karl and looks like great value. I only have a small handheld router which I can also use with a table. Can’t use something like that unfortunately, otherwise I think I’d end up eventually rebranding my channel ‘no handed woodworking’ 😐😂
Nicely reviewed Karl, initially it looked like a Bosch with the colouring mate & it looks similar to the Aldi Router I’ve got, they go ok & value for money are worth the dollars or pounds, this I would buy 🍻🍻👍👍👍👍
Hi James for 89.99 you can't go wrong I think. I definitely need to upgrade my router bits though these Chinese bits are terrible. Ye over the last few months I've had over a 100 each month and this 28days I've had 144 new subs so it's going OK at the moment. I've just bought a new microphone Amazon basic model but I won't need a wire that keeps getting tangled now🎤😊. My flag build video is doing baba though 🚩😭 probably because no one knows who Hull fc are😂 I should of done a Chelsea flag and all the glory boys would of subbed 😂
Great video review. I just bought this (my first) router today and am not sure about the parallel guide either. If you have mastered it a follow up video showing your experience would be really helpful.
Hi Jonathan, I don't really use the micro adjustment, think it's a bit fidely to be honest. In regards to the machine itself and the bits I think they are spot on, I've being using this beast far more than my palm router lately. 😊
Hey Karl. Literally just been to screwfix this morning and ordered a new router.... My router table router has been on its last legs for a while and finally blew its motor yesterday. I've got one of those fences on my other router (though I rarely ever use the fine adjuster)..... But, once you've set your fence in the right ballpark, it works by unlocking one set of the lock screws... Dialing in your fine adjustment.... and the locking it back off.
I would be planning to use this in a router table. Unsure if the power on switch requires it always to be operated by hand, ie squeezing the trigger? Or if the lock on keeps the power going to allow for use in a table. Yes, I'm new to this lol Great video showing all the features, looking forward to using this.
Yes this model requires the switch to be constantly pressed, if its for a router table I'd recommend the triton as it has a lift and can be switched on without holding the trigger constantly. 🙂
@@karlpopewoodcraft I just bought this router, and was confused. I thought that the lock was to lock it on, to be used with a table. I don't know if I should send it back, or tape the on switch up to keep it turned on. I bought it to use with a table. What do you think? 🙁
@@karlpopewoodcraft Hello again. Looking at this router which I just unboxed, looks like not a good idea to tape the button on, to use with a table. So my question is, could I use this router with raised panel bits? It seems more challenging without a table, but if it's possible, then I'll not send it back. Thanks.
@@fretboardfodder1037 I'd send it back mate, sounds to much like a lot of farthing around. Triton is pretty decent for a router table there designed specifically.
Personal review after use of it : power is OK, plunger springs needs a bit of oil to works well. The locking mechanism for the motor is just a mess. First problem : the "base" is not perpendicular with the motor. Unscrew hex screw on edges of the base then hammer it (I found a car valve that fit perfectly into the router (8mm queue) and it's perpendicular). Not perfect now but I have to work :p Second problem : the locking system works but the other side has a lot of play. So if you push a little bit with you right hand, you make a hole. Idem with rolling bits, be gentle. Maybe a tube of brass/copper will fix it. So, for every hobbyist (as me) that wants a router : If I can have a perpendicular base and fix the movement on right (around 3mm), I can recommend it for low budget. But definitively a cheap machine
Hi mate I think with machines at this end of the budget it's definitely hit and miss which one you pick up from the shop. The only issue i seem to have is the locking mechanism it can slip and you have to carful when applying pressure. Cheers for your feedback mate.
I've just got one if these and probably wont have it long before i blow it up 😂 gona try cut aluminum and mybe steel with milling tools instead see how it goes
@@karlpopewoodcraft I have a 9in erbauer angle grinder that's outlasted most other makes hence why I chose this reuter hopefully it lasts and does the job or I'll have to save for a milling machine
I’ve owned this router for months now and only opened it today, the parallel guide seems to be at a slight downward angel when attached to router and against workpiece causing it to slip under the work piece instead of resting snugly against it, is this the same as yours? My first router so can’t compare, great vid by the way
Hi Martin firstly thanks for watching and I haven't noticed any issues like that with my guide, however I will have a good look at mine this week as I'm using it for some tasks. What was the dimensions of the workpiece I.e the thickness of the material?
Nicely done Karl; looking forward to the follow-up on this. Your beard is coming on good pal. If you consider shaving it off don't do it in spring or summer because of birds nesting lol :) Regards, Fred
Haha its staying for good Fred, the day I left the Army I said to our lass I'm never shaving again. Cheers Fred so far so good, its a decent bit of kit, especially for £89.99. 😊
Karl, have you tried to use this as part of a router table? I'm wanting to but I can not work out whether it would work or if I would be able to keep the power on without pressing the trigger button.
Hi Neil, I've not tried mate. If I remember correctly you need to keep the but pressed manually on this model. I have the triton in my router table as it's designed for that purpose and works well.
Hi Ralph, I totally understand what you mean, the front knobs have to be tightened and then the dial should work but it literally is a fine adjustment, I also find this awkward.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Hi Karl, The book suggests that you can adjust up to 16mm but nothing moves at all when I turn it, I wonder if I just don't understand what I'm doing (have just purchased it...)
@@karlpopewoodcraft Ah I see now, I wasn't pulling the lock lever up high enough! Does it go all the way vertical, feels like it's going snap off after about 2/3rds rotation? And many thanks
I had this for one month it was secondhand for £40 I sold it for £50 it was temporarily till I fixed my elu 177 ,I found it ok for it's price but it is poorly constructed saying that the three cutter of better quality and yes I still have them, beware it creeps during use if you take to deeper cut , the motor is claimed to be powerful it screams in use and struggles during operation,this is ok for the occasional user and a good get me by machine till you can get something better built! By the way my elu is twenty five years old and is still going strong !
How’s the router performing after a year? I’m tempted by the price and I used one and it had plenty of power but I’ve heard that spares and bushes are difficult to get hold of and the bloke who owned it complained that he couldn’t find a way to lubricate the plunge mechanism when it started to get gritty. Any update would be gratefully received. Cheers for the review.
Hi Tony for 80 pounds I don't think you can go far wrong, he's right about spare parts as erbauer don't do spares but screwfix do an excellent 2 year guarantee that I have used a couple of times with my Erbauer equipment and they have either sent it away for repair or given me a new item on the spot. Like I say it's budget but about as good as it gets on a tight budget if you get me.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Thanks for the answer and the tip about the Screwfix guarantee which I never knew. It certainly seems a good machine especially for the price. You could literally buy 3 of them for the price of a big brand version and that puts it into perspective. Cheers.

Hi Karl, great review... just subscribed to your channel. Could you tell me, if you know, if there's another router brand which use the same collet type, because in europe this router come only with three collet size: 6, 8, and 12mm size, and i have many router bits with 1/2" shank that i use on an "oldie" Rockwell router. Thanks in advance. Greetings from France
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you liked the video. I'm pretty sure you should be able to order a half inch collet online as in the UK these come supplied with a half inch. Best of luck with your search and if I see one I'll share the link with you. 😊
Thanks for this video👍 I’ve never used a router before and I’m just about to buy one, I saw this in ScrewFix for £89 and was thinking I’d be my own Santa this year. Could you give me any pointers on this model i.e is it a good starters unit or should I get something smaller, I’ll be using it for framing , skirting, and basically a get to know the machine and my capabilities, is this a big boys toy and should I start with something easier and lighter to use? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Ash.
Hi Ashley, firstly id say yes this does pack a lot of power for a first router however this machine will complete most tasks asked of it with ease. For fine detail work and just popping on a round over I'd say a palm router would be adequate, also if you where doing say signs and letters and palm router would be easier to control but for housing joints and removing large amounts of materials such as flattening a slab this 2400w machine would be great. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe and check out my other videos 😉😁
@@karlpopewoodcraft already subscribed and you can be sure I’ll be watching your vids. Great explanations and in depth is what I need as a newbie. Stay well. Ash.
You can table mount it but you'll need to make the fixing hole a little bigger and bolt it to your table plate !I had mine in a trend table for a month!
Would you know the distance between the 12.5 blade and the outside of the 30mm bush? I want to use it in a jig but I want to make sure I buy the correct one . Thanks
Thanks ! Fine adjustment is ugly in my opinion : you have to release the guide, so it move as hell ! and move also during reset of screws on it. Fine adjustment works, but you can't fix it.
@@karlpopewoodcraft For sure ! I will try to put it under table. Not as nice and quick as with a triton but for amateurish job... Your one is already precise in cut ? (it's the risk with "cheap" machine...)
Cheers Scott, ye id recommended using a jig such as the trend one amzn.to/3B9IZsP Also make sure you have good quality cutters and just double check everything before making the cuts.
Yes mate, I use this router regularly on hardwood it's got more than a enough power. Make sure you buy decent bits though because those cheap sets off ebay are rubbish and the bearings break.

You can table mount it but you'll need to make the fixing hole a little bigger and bolt it to your table plate !I had mine in a trend table for a month!
What size are the guide bushes that came with it?
Hi Steyr 16mm and 30mm.
Would you know the distance between the 12.5 blade and the outside of the 30mm bush? I want to use it in a jig but I want to make sure I buy the correct one . Thanks
@@ffa556 hi Steyr I will have a look for you tomorrow. 😊
karlpopewoodcraft thanks Karl
Thanks ! Fine adjustment is ugly in my opinion : you have to release the guide, so it move as hell ! and move also during reset of screws on it. Fine adjustment works, but you can't fix it.
Totally agree with you mate, I'm not keen on the fine adjustment. The best thing for me is its power, kicks but on slabs 😂💪
@@karlpopewoodcraft For sure ! I will try to put it under table. Not as nice and quick as with a triton but for amateurish job...
Your one is already precise in cut ? (it's the risk with "cheap" machine...)
Great review, I got this exact router last week for cutting a new worktop. Have you any recommendations for cutting a worktop?
Thanks 👍
Cheers Scott, ye id recommended using a jig such as the trend one amzn.to/3B9IZsP
Also make sure you have good quality cutters and just double check everything before making the cuts.
@@karlpopewoodcraft thanks for the fast reply, would the good quality cutters prevent the worktop chipping. Cheers
@@tealgiant4983 ye that's the idea mate. 😊
How would this work on solid oak? Any good?
Yes mate, I use this router regularly on hardwood it's got more than a enough power. Make sure you buy decent bits though because those cheap sets off ebay are rubbish and the bearings break.
very nice! i think you should give it away as 1000 subscriber give away and i think it will be given to the first person to comment from Hawaii . 😄
Great idea 💡🤔🤔 unfortunately my wife said no, I tried my best to convince her but no sorry. 😂
@@karlpopewoodcraft well, if your wife said no, then you have no choice! LOL
