Underfloor access, the easy way
Innovative ideas and products have
always been a major factor in Trends
continuing success as the UK’s leading
routing and power tool accessory
suppliers.
Once again Trend have endorsed this
concept by introducing several new
products that are not only innovative
but push the existing boundarys of
routing technology even further forward.
I hope that this fourth edition of
INProfile again helps in informing all
router users, professional or amateur,
not only of the unique and extensive
range of Trend products, but of many of
the advantages and benefits that routing
can offer to all woodworkers, both in
industry and in the home.
