The R80 is a 1/2" plunge router with a 2200W motor. Its plunge mechanism uses linear ball bearing guides, which keep the plunge stroke smooth and limit lateral movement. The plunge is light enough to operate with one hand and reaches a depth of 70 mm.
Depth is set with a fine adjustment knob that reads to 0.1 mm on clear graduations. A 3-turret depth stop and a graduated depth scale let you preset up to three cut depths for incremental passes. The motor runs at six variable speed settings, and each setting's speed is shown below the dial. It holds a constant speed under load, and soft start brings it up to speed gradually.
The soft grip handles are contoured and carry the power switch. A safety lock prevents accidental start-up, and a locking button lets the motor run continuously. The template guide system is tool-free: pull out the spring-loaded lever, place the guide in the base opening and release the lever to lock it. The base is CNC machined from aluminium die casting and has a plastic sub base for smooth sliding. Its flat front face lets the router stand on its front for bit changes.
