    How about the Makita RT0700CX4. I have the RT0701C which is the 110V equivalent. You are lucky in the UK, using 220V lowers the current for the same power. There are mounts available on Thingiverse for this router and it has the benefit of variable speed. It’s about 96 pounds on Amazon. Weight is listed as 3Kg so it’s probably on the top end but it is rated at 700w and should cut quite well.

    Wright I think the DW660 is “recommended” because it works well with the MPCNC, but more importantly, here in the US, it’s inexpensive. It’s certainly not the only router that will work, probably not even the best.

    Looks like you have gotten some good suggestions for routers on your side of the pond. I just didn’t want you to feel like you were settling for less than the optimum tool for the MPCNC. In fact, the Makita, with its variable speed, has that advantage over a DW660, which requires an external speed control.
