Hi I've been looking at getting a second plunge router as my current one is loaded into my Triton table.
as it's a second tool I don't want to spend a fortune so I was looking at the Ozito. The problem is the Ozito will only take small router bits (6.35mm) but most of my bits are 12mm. So this spec is going to very limited appeal.
Anyone have any ideas on options?
Welcome to the Workshop community. I hope you find it useful and look forward to hearing about your projects. As a new member you might also like to introduce yourself to the community.
I trust members of the Workshop community will have suggestions for you about router options.

Would this Ryobi be too much of a stretch? http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-1600w-plunge-router_p6210608
I see the entry-level Ryobi is the same as the Ozito with 6.35 but the 1600W will take 6.35 & 12.7mm.
What do you make?
I agree with @Andy_Mann. Gumtree and even pawn shops can have fantastic bargains. Older Makita routers can be pretty cheap and most will be made in Japan not China.
