Is a cordless trim router powerful enough for real work?

For roundovers, chamfers, hinge mortises and edge profiles in softwood and plywood, yes. For deep cuts in hard wood or continuous production work, a corded router holds speed better.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

That depends on the kit you pick. Greenworks sells many 24V tools as tool-only, so check the box contents before buying if you own no 24V packs.

Will my Greenworks 24V batteries fit?

Yes. It runs on the Greenworks 24V lithium-ion platform, the same batteries used in its mowers, blowers and trimmers.

What is the 30,000 RPM figure?

It is the top no-load speed of the brushless motor. Speed under load drops, as on any router, and the figure is comparable to small corded trim routers.

What can I use it for?

Edge profiling, trimming laminate, cutting hinge and lock mortises, and light joinery. It is a trim router, not a plunge router for heavy panel work.

What warranty does it carry?

Greenworks backs the 24V platform with a 3-year tool and battery warranty.

Our take on the Greenworks 24V Brushless 30,000 RPM Compact Router

The Greenworks 24V Brushless Compact Router is a cordless trim router built on Greenworks' shared 24V lithium-ion battery platform, the same packs that run its mowers, blowers and trimmers. Its brushless motor spins at up to 30,000 RPM, which is in the range of small corded trim routers, and the cordless body frees you from an outlet and a cord dragging across the work. It suits trim work, edge profiles, hinge and lock mortises, and quick roundovers on site or in a small shop. Against corded palm routers it trades some sustained power for portability, and against other cordless brands it makes sense mainly if you already own Greenworks 24V batteries.
