@UNG I’m interested in the routabaout system. I’ve been trying to find out whether any router can be used or only their own?

Any router that can take a 30mm guide bush will do, I use a Makita ½in router so I can use the ½in shank cutter as the the ¼in cutter shank is a bit weak and can easily shear if you push it too hard as I found out also the ½in routers are generally a bit more powerful, although I have used ¼in and 5/16in routers with the Routabout. The ¼in router works hard and even taking your time it is tool abuse territory and with alot of use would probably burn out, the 5/16in router is better but still has the limitation of the ¼in shank cutter IMO the ½in router just feels more positive

I have borrowed one of these off a mate before and for small jobs where you just need 1 or2 access points to stick your hand in the floor void they are quiet good. You can glue in a metal cover plate once finished and be on your way in no time.

But no good if you need to get a drill in and drill a hole in the joist

Was never a problem with herringbone strutting, the advent of solid noggins has made the job more difficult for anyone who needs access, but easier for the chippy, unless you need access at right angles to the joists.

Solid noggins have been the electricians nightmare , I love working in old houses with the cross noggins where you can simply rod from one side of the room to the other...
Solid noggins are a pain in the arse

If the chippy just used a bit of imagination and drilled a couple of large access holes in each solid brace it would make life easier if the electrician/plumber knew they where there, but again a bit more work for the chippy, so will not happen.

Conversely if the electrician/plumber drilled them during fist fix, but then they would not have anything to moan about.
