Hikoki M3612DA/JPZ MultiVolt 36V Brushless 1/2" Variable Speed Router with 1x 2.5Ah Multi Volt Battery Compact cordless routers are ideal for tasks such as part duplication, cutting mortises for hinges, edge profiling, and more. What is the difference between palm routers and trim routers? Our wide selection of routers offers a selection of different styles and options to suit any budget, so you can find the best fit, whether you’re looking for a Bosch or Makita router. For something a little smaller and easier to manoeuvre, find compact, combination and variable speed fixed base routers. Offering smooth control and stability, fixed base routers are ideal for jobs with repeat application helping you to cut with precision. Plunge routers feature a cutting bit that moves up and down, which is manually lowered onto your material for top-down applications. They are the ideal choice for projects that require versatile depths including engraving, grooving, edge profiling and fluting.

A router is an essential tool for your woodworking kit, helping you shape edges and grooves, create joints and hollow out materials with precision. Shop our range and find the perfect plunge router, palm router or biscuit jointer to give every project a professional finish. Palm routers are smaller and more compact, making them ideal for minor precision applications like decorative moulding, engraving, and rounding or bevelling edges. Trim routers, on the other hand, are better suited for larger jobs such as shelves, timber fencing, or constructing large signs. How deep can a palm router cut? A plunge base allows you to effortlessly rout in stages, resulting in easier cutting and a nicer finish. Plunge bases have a two-handled grip for improved handling and an adjustable turret that allows you to change the plunge depth without changing the final depth. Some compact router kits contain a plunge base, while others are available as an add-on. Some are not compatible with a plunge base at all, or come with a fixed base. ¼” Shank

There are many different options of cordless routers available on the market, some of the most popular ones being palm routers and trim routers. Because palm routers are more portable and compact, they are better suited for small, precise applications like decorative moulding, engraving, and rounding or bevelling edges. Trim routers, on the other hand, work well for bigger jobs like building shelving, wooden fencing, or substantial signs. Compact routers only accept 1/4" shank bits which are not suitable for high-profile cuts. If you need to make a high-profile cut, that will require a full-size router with ½”. shank. Soft Start An electric brake, which stops the bit nearly immediately when you turn off the router, is another important safety feature in a cordless router. This allows you to securely place the tool on your bench right away without the need to wait for it to cool off. Variable Speed Our range also includes biscuit jointers that are designed for excellent manoeuvrability and easy handling. They create crescent shaped holes in both pieces of timber, which can then be filled with a compressed biscuit to hold them in place. We have a selection of versatile biscuit jointers that cut 0, 10 and 20 biscuit sizes, providing more flexibility for all of your woodworking projects.
