Overview
A fixed base holds the motor at a set depth, and the tool is small enough to grip in one hand while the bit trims an edge. Power comes from a plug at the listed voltage, and the body is plastic.
A compact, one-handed router is the reason to buy it for edge work, where a full-size router would be awkward. The limitation is capacity: one-horsepower power and a fixed base suit light cuts and not deep dados.
Who it's for
Hobbyists and finish carpenters who ease edges and trim veneer get a router they can control with one hand. Anyone routing hardwood grooves or mounting the tool in a router table should look at a larger machine.
Pros and cons
- Small enough for one-hand control
- Corded power without battery fade
- Plastic body holds weight down
- Limited warranty is listed
- Fixed base only
- Plunge base not listed
- Collet size not listed
- Speed range beyond maximum not listed
Performance notes
Router performance depends on bit sharpness, feed rate and how much material each pass removes, since the motor has to hold its speed against the cut. A fixed base sets cutting depth before the cut starts, so changes mean stopping to adjust. Heavy passes in hardwood slow the bit and can leave burn marks, so shallow passes work best.
