Our take on the Flex 24V 1.5 HP Variable Speed Trim Router FX4221-Z

The Flex FX4221-Z is a cordless 24V trim router with a 1/4-inch collet and a 1.5 peak horsepower brushless motor that spins from 16,000 to 31,000 RPM. It runs on Flex's 24V battery platform, so it frees you from a cord for edge work, hinge mortises and laminate trimming. Its quick-release collars give fine depth adjustment to 1/64 inch, and soft start, an electric brake and a center-mounted collet lock make it easier to handle than many corded palm routers. It suits trim carpenters and cabinet installers already on the Flex battery system; anyone without Flex batteries should weigh the total kit cost against a corded trim router, which still offers unlimited runtime.

Questions and answers

Does the Flex FX4221-Z come with a battery?
No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Flex 24V battery and charger, which are sold separately.
What size bits does it take?
It uses a 1/4-inch collet only. It will not accept 1/2-inch shank bits.
How does it compare with a corded trim router?
It matches corded palm routers on speed range and adds cordless freedom, but a corded router runs indefinitely and usually costs less overall.
Can it be used in a router table?
It has above-table height adjustment, but its plastic base and 24V power suit handheld trim work better than sustained table use.
What accessories fit it?
It accepts a round subbase, centering cone, dust extraction hood and edge guide.
Is it good for hinge mortises and laminate trimming?
Yes. The light body, soft start and fine depth adjustment suit hinge mortises, edge banding and laminate trimming.
