Hey Martyn,
of course there is no reason to buy the Makita version for the U.S. market (=for girly power) and with U.S. customary / imperial collet.
What you need, is the normal Makita RT0702C for the big blue 230 V country:

Here’s the one I own:

But I don’t plan to use it for the Onefinity, it is a hand trim router.
Hay thanks man
I’m new to all this so haven’t got much of a clue really bin and got the router, now I’m thinking about the 80mm spindle they cost loads but don’t want water cooled just a normal one to get me up and running I thought I got one when I got the forman lol thanks again for your help it’s much appreciated kind regards martyn
