Our take on the R65 1/4" Router

The Rutlands R65 is a 1/4-inch plunge router built for woodworkers who want more than a light trimmer. Its 1200W motor holds a constant 12,000–30,000 rpm under load, and the aluminum plunge base gives up to 55mm of travel with a three-stop turret for preset cut depths. That puts it above typical 1/4-inch trimmers for dovetailing, decorative moulding and hinge or lock faceplate recessing, while staying lighter and easier to handle than a 1/2-inch router. Soft start, variable speed and a handle-mounted switch with a safety lock round out the controls.

About the R65 1/4" Router

The R65 is a 1/4" plunge router with a 1200W motor. It handles light trimming and medium-duty work such as dovetailing, decorative molding, and recessing hinge and lock faceplates.

The plunge base gives up to 55mm of plunge depth without friction or lateral play. A stopper pole with metric graduations sets the depth. A 3 turret depth stop lets you preset up to three cut depths for incremental passes.

The variable-speed motor runs at 12,000 to 30,000 rpm and holds a constant speed under load. Soft start brings the motor up to speed gradually. The soft grip handles are contoured and carry a handle-mounted power switch. A safety lock prevents accidental start-up, and a locking button keeps the motor running for extended use.

Questions and answers

Is the R65 powerful enough for dovetailing?
Yes. The 1200W motor and constant-speed control are aimed at medium-duty work like dovetailing, decorative moulding and faceplate recessing, not just trimming.
How deep can it plunge?
Up to 55mm. The stopper pole is marked in metric graduations, and the three-stop turret lets you preset up to three depths for stepped passes.
Can I use 1/2-inch shank bits in it?
No. It is a 1/4-inch router, so it takes 1/4-inch shank bits only. For large panel-raising or heavy stock removal, a 1/2-inch router is the better tool.
Does the speed stay steady in hard wood?
Rutlands states the motor maintains constant rotational speed even under demanding loads, and soft start brings it up gradually to reduce startup shock.
What controls does it have?
Variable speed from 12,000 to 30,000 rpm, a handle-mounted power switch, a safety lock against accidental starts and a locking button for continuous running.
How big and heavy is it?
The base is 145mm in diameter, machined from aluminum die casting for rigidity. It is a plunge router with contoured soft-grip handles.
Where is the R65 1/4" Router cheapest?
At Rutlands Limited, for $100.00, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the R65 1/4" Router?
