Router

Plunge routers can remove material to controlled depths for manufacturer-approved woodworking operations. This category includes Makita and Bosch models that may support larger cutting bits than compact laminate trimmers. Compare collet diameter, depth adjustment, maximum approved bit size, motor input and available guide or fence accessories.

Before ordering, check the exact bit-shank requirements, operating speed range and included accessories rather than assuming router cutters are bundled with the machine. Secure timber, establish a safe cutting path and work in the feed direction recommended by the tool maker. Disconnect the machine before changing bits and use suitable dust extraction and protective equipment.
