- 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.
