Our take on the Craftsman V20 Router, Fixed Base, 7 Speeds, 16,000-30,000 RPM, Bare Tool Only (CMCW400B)

The Craftsman V20 router is a cordless fixed-base trim router built on the V20 battery platform. Its brushless motor spins at 16,000 to 30,000 RPM across 7 speeds, and a depth-adjustment knob handles fast height changes. It is a bare tool, so you need a V20 battery and charger you already own. It suits trim work, edge profiles and light routing where a cord gets in the way. Against corded trim routers it gives up constant power and long sessions, but it wins on portability and setup speed. Owners like the brushless motor and easy depth changes; the main complaints are battery drain under load and the extra cost of batteries if you are not already on V20.

Questions and answers

Does the Craftsman V20 router come with a battery?
No. It is a bare tool, so you need a V20 battery and charger. If you already own V20 tools, you can use those packs.
What can this router do that a corded trim router cannot?
It works without a cord, so it is easier on installed cabinets, doors and edges away from an outlet. A corded router still holds power better in long or heavy cuts.
Is it good for routing hardwood?
It handles light passes in hardwood, but take shallow cuts and expect faster battery drain. Large bits in dense wood are where it struggles most.
Can I use it with a plunge base?
This is the fixed-base model. Plunge routing needs a plunge base, which is not included here.
What bits does it accept?
It takes standard 1/4-inch shank router bits, the common size for trim routers.
Who should buy it?
Trim carpenters and DIYers already on the V20 platform who want cordless edge work. If you route heavily or own no V20 batteries, a corded router is the better fit.
