Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool. You need an 18V or MultiVolt battery and a charger, or an existing Metabo HPT kit.

In light passes. At 0.87 HP it is built for trim, edges and shallow cuts; deep cuts in hard hardwood call for a corded router.

Does it take 1/2-in bits?

No. It has a 1/4-in collet only, which covers most trim and laminate bits.

Is it a plunge router?

No. It is a fixed-base trim router, so you set depth and lower it onto the work rather than plunging.

Any Metabo HPT 18V battery, including MultiVolt packs in 18V mode. The MultiVolt AC adapter also powers it.

How fast does it spin?

The dial covers 10,000 to 30,000 rpm, letting you slow down for large bits and run full speed for small ones.
