worth a look.

If that's the 2050W jobbie then my experience was wholly different. I
did one worktop and took it back to B&Q for a refund.

Several issues with it, perhaps the worst being that the router
treated the plunge lock as advisory - and ignored it. As I moved
across the workpiece the router would dig deeper into the wood. When I
upgraded to a Trend T9 I saw what a real plunge lock worked like.

Awful piece of kit. Cost me £99 as I recall (I got the £99 back).
