A wood router is one of the most essential tools of any modern workshop. Whether you're a frequent DIYer or a professional, Ace Hardware carries router tools from trusted brands, like DEWALT, Milwaukee, Bosch and Porter Cable, to keep your project running smoothly. Use our helpful guide to learn about the different types of wood routers and the array of optional features that may come in handy.
Wood Router Sizes
A router machine is a versatile woodworking tool you can use for a wide array of jobs ranging from simple to complex. A router power tool helps simplify tasks like duplicating patterns, making cutouts, performing decorative surface cuts and more. When it comes to choosing the perfect router tool for you, size is an important factor to consider. Router machines come in following three main sizes.
Palm Routers
Cost-effective and lightweight, a compact router offers enough power to handle most small profiling jobs. A palm router makes an ideal choice for softening sharp edges, cutting hinge mortises and creating box grooves.
Mid-Sized Router Power Tools
A mid-sized wood router tool can perform nearly any type of routing project with ease. These wood routing tools are available in both one-handed and two-handed models and offer maximum versatility for pros and hobbyists alike.
Full-Sized Router Power Tools
For the toughest jobs, a full-sized wood router provides the torque needed to get the job done. The larger size of router machine makes it best for handling big, heavy-duty projects.
Types of Router Tool Bases
Before purchasing a router tool, decide which type of base will work best for you. Wood routers typically have either a plunge or fixed base, each with its own dedicated purpose.
Fixed Base
If your primary goal is edge shaping, a fixed base compact router might be easier to maneuver. This type of router power tool can be set to a wide range of cutting depths. Since the handles are positioned near the bottom of the tool, the center of gravity is lower, allowing for greater control.
Plunge Base
For tasks that call for controlled vertical movement during cutting, a plunge base wood routing tool is a great option. These wood routers simplify the process of cutting deep grooves and mortises as well as performing detailed pattern work. Users can adjust the cutting depths of plunge base router machines by simply unlocking a lever and raising or lowering the motor housing, even while operating the tool.
Corded vs. Cordless Routers
If you move from jobsite to jobsite, a cordless router provides greater portability. Cordless routers eliminate the hassles associated with power cords. Alternatively, if you require a wood router that's built for plenty of torque, a corded router tool may be a better option. As long as you have access to an electrical outlet, a corded router machine will run without interruption and eliminate the need for recharging between use.
Browse the inventory of corded and cordless wood routing tools at Ace Hardware online or in-store.
