Knowing the speed the router works at but knowing nothing about the manufacturer and the potential for an unfortunate but rather brutal accident.
I am not at all sure a £15 router is a sensible tool to buy - just my thought

You could buy a £1500 router incorrectly and end up injured. Fairly sure it's passed all the required standards. Don't think anyone is suggesting this of for a master craftsman

You can get bits anywhere.
I bought a set in a metal case from Argos, cost about 20 notes.

To quote a friend who recently purchased a £15 jigsaw "turns out a £15 jigsaw is a waste of £15"
You probably can't go too far wrong with the router, assuming you use a half decent cutter and tread carefully, and it doesn't pop within a couple of uses, but wouldn't bother with the jigsaw or mitre saw unless you're not after the slightest element of precision (which is kind of the whole point of jigsaws and mitre saws)

Some buyers report that it won't take standard 1/4" router bits (these are 6.35mm, collet supplied is 6mm). Others say it does.

Would this router be good for a kitchen worktop? I know I need the template etc
Going to fit a kitchen and was going to get a joiner in to do the worktop but don't know if should try it myself... probably not.

Nothing to do with precision in use more the expected precision of the collets and locking nut when rotating at 30,000 rpm
