What Is a Wood Router?
A wood router is a high-speed wood working power tool — either hand held or bench mounted — used to cut or rout straight or decorative profile grooves and moldings into the face or edges of timber. It is available in fixed spindle, plunge, and combination versions. The wood router uses a variety of cutting bits of different sizes and profiles and may be used to machine most types or grades of wood in addition to other materials. It may feature variable speed controls or soft start systems which allow better control at extremely high speeds.
