WHAT IT DOES
Routers are woodworking super heroes as they are the most versatile tool in the workshop. They
Can:
Create decorative mouldings
Create decorative flutings and inlays
Trim wood
Cut out shapes and copying a shape
Cut traditional joints
Carve out shapes
Cut grooves and rabbets
Recess hinges
Drill clean holes
Plunge Routers - allow you to set the depth of the cut but also allows you to plunge down into the material directly from above.
Trim routers are smaller machines and easier to handle - you can operate it with one hand. It can do much of what a normal plunge router can do but as it is less powerful it can’t handle heavy duty cutting.
