Argos have a cheap Challenge router on sale for £10 (half price)
I was wondering if anyone had used this model? Is it suitable for table
mounting.

I realise that it's not going to be great, but I just wanted to try making
a basic router table rather than clamping my current router upside down in
my workmate.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated



Make sure the switch can be locked on - it seems that a trend (no pun
intended!) in the lower-end routers is for non-locking switches, which IMHO
actually makes the tool more dangerous for handheld use (you can end up in
contortions trying to hold the switch down whilst working round a piece) and
also makes it pretty damned useless for mounting in a table.
