might like an independent viewpoint, hence my link to Axminster.
If you look at trend's own rating here:
(You can't read much into the light and heavy classifications, since they don't have a separate bracket for the mid sized designs. Everything is either light or heavy).
If you kook at the T3, you will note the different rating of "Hobbyist/Light Trade", look at the "heavy" T11, and you will see its rating is "Professional/Trade" again - i.e. the same as the T5.
Still this is all rather academic. Since I own a T5, I know form experience it will run continuously without any difficulty, and is plenty powerful enough for the job. I have even cut a worktop with it once. It coped surprisingly well for a 1/4" machine.
The T5, like the Dewalt, is the good old Elu MOF96, after many years of bean-counter cost-cutting, so at the least its heritage was as a proper trade/industrial tool.
