Whether routing small profiles, dovetailing, or fitting door hinges, the router delivers consistent and reliable performance.
The smooth rack-and-pinion fine depth adjustment system ensures precise depth settings, while the quick release cam lock system allows for effortless depth adjustments and rapid base changes. A soft start feature ensures smooth operation, and the electronic speed control maintains a constant speed under load, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. For maximum durability, the tool is constructed with a heavy-duty aluminum motor housing and features a durable flat-top design, making bit changes convenient and quick.
The compact router’s slim, ergonomically designed body offers superior comfort and control during operation, complemented by a non-marring high-durability base insert that protects workpieces from damage. With a high-visibility base design, you gain improved handling and precision for more intricate work. Its compatibility with industry-standard template guides further extends its versatility.
The included plunge base offers a 1-3/8” plunge depth capacity, ideal for creating mortises, grooves, and other precision cuts. It includes fine depth adjustments with three preset depth stops, a plunge lock lever for convenient operation, and a clear plastic shield to protect you from debris. Perfect for angled routing, the tilt base allows cuts between -30° and 45°, enabling different profiles with a single router bit. This is particularly useful for trimming laminated boards or thin materials. For tight or hard-to-reach areas, the offset base allows routing as close as ¾” to the wall, making it indispensable for counter tops, kitchens, and sink cutouts.
