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.
