2nd Hand Trend T9E
Arthur 51
I've seen a Trend T9E 1800W 1/2" router in a nearby 2nd hand shop.
The guy behind the counter doesn't know much anything about routers
and it seems to have no box or edge guide with it.
It has a 1/4" collet in the router head but I don't know if it
requires a 1/2"
collet or does the 1/4" collet just need to be taken out to receive
the 1/2"
cutters!
Anyone know?
Thanks.

AFAIR, these are just the same collets as a lot of machines on that
chassis, including my Freud. You need one separate collet for each
size - any conversion shims should be thrown away, because you want
all the accuracy and accurate balance you can get (that's why they use
a collet after all). Spares should be easy enough to get and Trend
are usually pretty good at this. Somewhere out there there's also a
website (forgotten the name) that sells every collet for pretty much
every router, including some quite obscure stuff.

Very nice machines...

Not all of them come with cases. The edge guide is standard kit, but can
be bought separately.

It probably had separate collets for 1/2" and 1/4" (they also do, 6mm,
8mm, 3/8th, and 12mm)

With the prices these and similar capacity DeWalt machines can be had
for new nowadays you may not find this is such a bargain once you've
bought any additional collets and the guide fence. Don't forget a
brand new machine will give you 12 months peace of mind against
defects. Do you know how much wear there is in the Trend machine?
You pays your money and makes your choice.

The outside of the router looks in good condition. The knobs etc look
as new
and the plunge works smothly.
So I don't think any kitchen fitters have been thrashing it and
throwing it about.
Its for sale at 70 quid because it doesn't come with any accessories
eg guide or 1/2" collet. There is just the router with a 1/4" collet.
At 70 quid I can find a 1/2" collet for less than £10 and a proper
winder form trend
to use it with my router table and thats all I need as I use another
router for hand held work.
I bought a brand new Ryobi ERT 2100 a few months back I'm not
impressed with it.
It overheats (smoking) and I'm not working it hard.
Its the 2nd Ryobi product I've bought. The table saw couldn't even be
assembled.

Given what you want it for its an "ok" deal. Note that the couple that
have sold on ebay recently went for mid 60's prices - but that was for
the full kit in a carry case.
Might the dealer drop the price if you showed him the cost of all the
missing bits? At �50 it would be a good deal.

I'll give it a try but its in a branch of cash converters and the 70
quid price
probably reflects the lack of accessories.
Thanks.

Do they haggle ?
I've looked at stuff in Cash Converters but it always seems overpriced to
me. Even seen 2nd hand tools from Lidle/Aldi being sold for more than the
original price.

And from Makro.
The only CC place I've known is the one that is/was in Huntingdon. The
local plod told me it was where the druggies sold the stuff they knocked
off in order to feed their habit(s). Even so everything was over priced
compared to fleabay, and the stuff that was obviously straight from
Aldi/Lidl/cash and carry puzzled me. "JCB" brand power tools were the
obvious ones, they sold (or offered) them for 2x the price at Makro.

times a week during lunch
to find something I think looks a fair price. .
