Cordless Router Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cordless router used for?
A cordless router is a versatile power tool that can be used for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used for a variety of woodworking and carpentry tasks, like routing out wood, creating tight-fitting joints, and creating intricate designs, including grooves, rabbets, dadoes, and mortises. Routers are often used for home improvement projects, furniture making, and model-making ¬– making the cordless router a great tool for both professional tradesman and DIYers. Routers can also be used to quickly and accurately cut and shape plastic, metal, and other materials.
Cordless routers are powered by battery and do not require a trailing power lead or access to a power outlet. This makes them especially useful for people who would like the convenience and flexibility of moving freely around the jobsite or the workshop. They are ideal for users who need to make quick adjustments to their work, as cordless routers can be quickly adjusted as required. They are typically used with a template guide to ensure precise cuts.
What is the difference between a router and a router trimmer?
A router and a router trimmer are both tools used to shape, cut, and finish wood or other materials. The primary difference between these two tools is the size of the bit used in the tool. A router is a larger tool, usually with a motor and a base plate. It can accept larger bits, which are ideal for cutting out deep grooves, dados, and mortises. The size of the bit determines the size of the cut, so a router can make very deep cuts. It is also used for making decorative edges and rounding off edges. A router trimmer is a smaller tool, with a handheld motor and a smaller base plate. It takes very small bits, which are ideal for precision trimming of wood and other materials. A router trimmer is used to trim the edges of wood, plastic, and other materials with high precision. It is also used to make very small inlays and engravings. Both tools are an essential part of any woodworker's toolkit.
