- What can this router do that a trim router from a big brand can't?
- Nothing extra in capability. It does the same edge trimming, chamfering, grooving and pattern work, but without variable speed, soft start or the smoother plunge action of premium models.
- Can it cut dados and grooves in plywood?
- Yes. With a straight bit and the fence or a clamped straightedge, it cuts grooves and dados in plywood and softwood. Take several shallow passes rather than one deep cut.
- Does it accept standard 1/4-inch bits?
- It uses a 1/4-inch collet, the common size for trim router bits, so most straight, chamfer, roundover and pattern bits fit. Check the shank size of any bit before buying.
- Is it good for routing hardwood?
- It can, but the single speed means you must slow your feed and take light passes to avoid burning. For regular hardwood work, a variable-speed router is easier to control.
- What comes in the kit?
- The kit includes the router with its plunge base, a fence, a guide bushing and a set of bits. Check the box contents for the exact bit count before you buy.
- Can it be used for drilling?
- Yes, with a suitable bit it can drill light holes in wood, but it is a router first. For regular drilling, a drill or drill press is the better tool.
