Hello @Blackswanwood
Have you seen Bosch 12v router?
Here is a comparison with Makita corded:
And another review worth watching:

What sort of trimming task requires oomph or variable speed?Thanks @fleyh. Yes - I keep coming back to it as I already have the batteries for other stuff. It’s not got variable speed of the oomph of the Makita though.
If you already have batteries for other stuff surely you'll choose something they'll suit? Why the debate?Thanks @fleyh. Yes - I keep coming back to it as I already have the batteries for other stuff. It’s not got variable speed of the oomph of the Makita though.
The DeWalt does look like a quality piece of kit. Coincidentally Axminster were using a couple of them in the plunge base to demonstrate their UJK dovetail jigs at Harrogate.What sort of trimming task requires oomph or variable speed?
If you meant palm size router (rather than trim router) with variable speed and oomph which can do okay trimming jobs - then (if OF1010 is not in the budget) it is hard to beat Dewalt DCW600 (cordless) or its corded version DeWALT D26204.
In cordless 1/4" palm routers category DCW600 (oomph wise) is in the league of its own. And it has the light (lighting up the area around your bit), just like mentioned above Bosch and recently released Mafell LO50.
Because I’m not going down the cordless route Phil.If you already have batteries for other stuff surely you'll choose something they'll suit? Why the debate?
I had an open mind at the outset but it’s not for site use and the battery set up I have is Bosch 12v which I have for cordless drills. I‘ve looked at the Bosch option mentioned earlier in the thread and while it’s a nifty design it’s not what I want. I also don’t really want to get into another battery regime.Why not battery?
Forgot to mention in my previous post. i don’t own the plunge base for the Makita and Katsu. So my message about the depth adjustment being a slight pain is for the fixed basesI bought a Makita 18v with a plunge base......seems OK to me.
