Compact Power, Cabinetmaker Precision
This trim router brings a refined, architectural crispness to edges and reveals, making millwork feel bespoke. I love the streamlined silhouette and intuitive depth controls that keep details razor-sharp. Pair it with a brass template bushing and contrast woods for decorative inlays that feel couture. It’s a small luxury that elevates craftsmanship to a gallery-level finish.
AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, buyers consistently praise the router’s strong power for a compact cordless unit, noting smooth cuts in hardwoods and excellent runtime with XC5.0 packs. Users like the precise micro/macro depth controls, bright LEDs, and stable sub-base plates; many use it for cabinetry, trim, and hinge mortising. Common critiques mention that the included edge guide is basic, and some wish for a finer dust shroud seal and quieter operation. Representative quotes: “Every bit as strong as my corded trim router,” “Depth adjustments are spot on,” and “Dust collection works but could be better around the bit.”
