HIKOKI M3612DAJPZ 36v 1/2" Brushless Router with 1x2.5ah Battery

Cordless Routers can be one of the most versatile woodworking tools, but this can make picking the right one tricky.  So, think about the kind of work you’ll be using it for; not all Routers offer the same features, or specifications.

For example, the collet supplied with the tool might be either half an inch in diameter or a quarter of an inch. As a rule, half-inch collets are usually fitted to heavy duty routers, suitable for commercial woodworking or large projects.

The level of power the Router generates will also vary between models; the range here at ToolStore UK includes tools with an input wattage of 850W, but this can rise to as much as 2100W.

With this kind of power, it’s helpful if your potential purchase has variable speed control. It’s also worth looking at the dust collection options and the accessories provided, as well as checking that the tool you’re choosing runs on the right voltage for where you’ll use it; as well as the cordelss range, many models are sold in both 110v and 240v versions.
