Trimmer

Laminate trimmers and small routers help shape edges, trim laminates and perform other manufacturer-approved woodworking operations. Compare models by collet size, base design, adjustment range, motor power and compatible cutting bits. Some larger trimmers provide additional plunge bases, while compact fixed-base tools suit different edge tasks.

Match the router-bit shank precisely to the collet rather than assuming all small bits are interchangeable. Check whether a guide, parallel fence, plunge base, battery or charger is included with the selected Makita or Powerhouse model. Secure the workpiece and follow the manual for safe bit installation, feed direction and dust control.
