The flush ball bearing mount keeps the height down to just 1/2" (12 mm), making it easy to route rebates or stacks of panels in tight spaces.
Fast router bit changes
Push-button spindle stop makes swapping router bits quick and easy.
Brushless EC-TEC motor
Brushless motor delivers efficiency, low noise, and minimal vibration with built-in motor management.

Spot On Work
