Betterley cove router v Virtuex cove router

[andyman]

2 questions
1. Does anyone know where I can buy the betterley cove router in the UK apart from cd uk
2.Anyone used the Virtuex router or able to compare it with the betterley router?

I have used the betterley air glide it's a beast of a router, and have been told that the virtuex is not powerful enough any comments welcome.
Thanks

I think CDUK are the only UK distributor for the Betterley routers, but I'm not 100% certain.

I can't help with the Virutex vs Betterley question either I'm afraid. FWIW, it is possible to do coved upstands without a cove router; I've done it a few times. I can give you more info if you wish.

Yeah I've done it with a vanity top, but I've got 2 jobs to starting in a weeks time with about 20m of upstand and I'm thinking maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy 1 straight away although I've got to buy a load of clamps next week as well,  and bought ro150 last week obviously once I have it will save time on these jobs and future ones.
Cd are the only supplier I can find in the UK to

Well it is turning into an expensive week again.

I bit the bullet & ordered the Betterley air glide today along with a few router bits, 2 longlife vac bags from Matmax, 50 spring clamps, 25 F clamps, hot glue gun and adhesive oh and some Corian to use them on.

I only need to order some abrasives then I can start work [blink]
