Overview
Key Routing Applications
80mm plunge depth for trenching work including lock and latch fitting.
Kitchen fitting applications including worktop jointing, draining grooves, and carcass alteration.
Hand-held routing and edge moulding applications, including recesses for intumescent fire door strips and rebates.
Key Router Table Applications
Routing narrow materials where use of a router side fence isn’t practical or there is not enough stock to safely support the router whilst cutting.
Use of wide cutters, such as panel raisers, where use in a hand-held router would be dangerous.
Repetitive routing, where clamping/unclamping material for hand-held routing wastes time.
Key Features
80mm Plunge Depth is ideal for deep-cutting applications. Perfect for lock jigs, worktop joints and timber profiling.
Precision Centering System contains a unique guide bush centring pin and adaptor plate that ensures perfect concentricity between the cutter and guide bush for pinpoint accuracy with routing jigs.
Trend Base Configuration is a standardised fixing pattern of holes that allow routers to be attached to a range of compatible router tables, jigs and accessories.
Router Table Compatible with height adjuster to easily and safely change cutting height from above the table.
NVR Compatible allows an NVR Switch to be fitted which provides an independent switching arrangement for your router.
Router Table Safety Clip mechanically pulls the trigger inwards to keep the power on, which allows the safe use of a standard NVR when using a router table.
Constant Speed Control monitors the spindle RPM and adjusts automatically to maintain cutter speed for smooth and consistent cuts.
Soft Start prevents ‘kick-back’ on start-up for improved accuracy and a safer, more comfortable user experience.
Variable Speed Control gives the user total control across a wide range of cutter styles, cutter sizes, materials, and applications.
The handy RPM reference guide on the machine makes matching the speed to the maximum shown on the cutter simple, while the control dial is recessed, to prevent accidental adjustment.
Vertical Extraction Spout prevents extraction hoses from ‘snagging’ on jigs and materials.
