So part of me posting about this router / PSU cobbled-together setup:
Interesting find - brushless Franken-router setup
Was so I could comment about it in this thread 
What occurs to me, is it looks like there is:
- At least one China manufacturer making long-enough cordless brushless router bodies.
- At least one China manufacturer making a PSU-in-a-box that appears to work with it (subject to testing).
- Together they are in the $100 ballpark.
I feel like there is a market for ~$100 dewalt/makita clone router brushless replacements, with the PSU changed to have a 2-3m lead. So sitting somewhere above a brushed makita clone, but below a full spindle and vfd, but still coming in at about 8/900watt.
I wonder if Maslow / @bar is well placed to lead that as it potentially solves a few problems around which router to use and the longevity issues of brushed routers?
