Overview
Two base styles, fixed and plunge, make up the working side of this combo router, and one motor drives both. The kit includes self-releasing collets, two wrenches and a carrying case, and the body mixes metal and plastic.
A motor this size plus both base styles means one purchase instead of two. Depth adjustment is not described, and the weight is substantial.
Who it's for
A shop that does edge profiles, grooves and mortise-style plunge cuts gets both bases in one box here. Light trimming and overhead work are better handled by a smaller router.
Pros and cons
- Fixed and plunge bases
- Both common collet sizes
- Carrying case included
- High horsepower rating
- Heavy to carry
- Speed control not described
- Depth adjustment not described
- Larger than trim routers
Performance notes
The motor supplies the speed and torque, while the base style decides how the bit enters the work. The fixed base sets a depth before the cut and the plunge base lowers the bit into the work. Collet fit determines how well the bit holds under load.
