200kg's! this seems excessive for a wood router a hell of a lot of weight to be moving at speed it's like 1/5 a car you'll need chuky motors.

Have you considered buying a 2nd hand router

haggle with them you might get it for £4.5k ;) I find if you visit people and wave cash at them you can get some leeway ;)
