Routers

Corded routers are essential for shaping edges, cutting joinery and creating decorative profiles.  Fixed base routers provide stability for edge work, while plunge routers allow you to start cuts in the middle of a workpiece.  Variable speed control matches the bit size and material.

What is a router used for in woodworking?
A router is used to shape, trim, and cut decorative or functional profiles into wood and other materials. Common applications include edge profiling, groove and dado cutting, hinge mortising, template routing, and joinery tasks like dovetails or finger joints. It's a must-have tool for furniture makers, cabinet installers, and carpenters.

What’s the difference between a plunge router and a fixed-base router?
A plunge router allows the bit to start above the workpiece and be lowered into the cut—ideal for internal grooves, mortises, and stopped cuts. A fixed-base router keeps the bit at a set height—better for edge profiling and table-mounted use. Many professionals prefer plunge routers for versatility, while some models offer interchangeable bases.

What features should I look for in a corded router?
Look for motor power (1200–2000W for most tasks), variable speed control (for different materials and bit sizes), soft start for smoother operation, depth adjustment knobs, and clear base plates for visibility. Other useful features include dust extraction ports, LED lighting, spindle lock for easy bit changes, and compatibility with guide rails or templates.
