80MM PLUNGE DEPTH is ideal for deep cutting applications. Perfect for lock jigs, worktop joints and timber profiling.
PHOSPHOR BRONZE BUSHINGS are corrosion resistant, durable and self-lubricating to prevent racking and deliver a smooth, accurate plunge action.
TREND BASE CONFIGURATION is a standardised fixing pattern of holes that allow routers to be attached to a range of compatible tables, jigs and accessories.

PRECISION CENTERING SYSTEM contains a unique guide bush centring pin and adaptor plate ensures perfect concentricity between cutter and guide bush for pinpoint accuracy with routing jigs.
AUTO-LOCK is temporarily disengaged whilst the lever is held in this position, and router can plunge. When the lever is released, the plunge position will be locked. Perfect for fast repositioning and surface registration when used with a jig.
Auto-lock is turned off, allowing the user to control the plunge position. Perfect for accurate repositioning and depth post setting.
Re-engages auto-lock and returns the lever to the resting position. The plunge lever self-tightens, so vibration caused by heavy loads will not affect the accuracy of the depth setting.

ANTI-RESTART PROTECTION prevents the router from unexpected start-up if the trigger lock-on switch is engaged, and the power supply is turned on or temporarily interrupted & restored.
In this event, the trigger lock-on switch must be disengaged before the router can restart.
IEC 62841-2-17:2017 compliant.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL dial features 7 increments ranging from 9,000rpm to 22,000rpm, which gives the user total control across a wider range of cutter styles, cutter sizes, materials, and applications.
Variable speed control dial is recessed, to prevent accidental adjustment.
Rating Label lists speed ratio chart for easy cross- reference to the cutter shank to ensure cutters are used safely, and at optimum speed.

GIVES USERS 360° VISIBILITY and prevent extraction hoses from ‘snagging’ on jigs and materials, the extraction connection point is conveniently mounted at the top of the router.
ENHANCED CYCLONE DUST ADAPTER efficiently pulls debris away from the work area to maintain visibility, keep cuts clean and prolong cutter life.
FORWARD-FACING ANGLE supports a natural wrist position, reduces strain, and increases control when routing with arms outstretched.
SCULPTED HANDLE PROFILE with rubber over-mould provides improved comfort and control.

QUICK SET DEPTH POST - Rack & Pinion depth post with indexed 1mm increments and zeroing function for fast, easy adjustment.
MICROMETER FINE HEIGHT ADJUSTER - 0.1mm increments with an easy-to-read display for precision depth adjustments.
BUILT INTO THE ERGONOMIC HANDLE - the power trigger and lock-on switch are operated without releasing the grip, which helps to prevent accidental movement and kick-back when turning the router on and off.

TWIN, FLICKER-FREE LEDS improve safety and accuracy in low-light situations where work lighting is poor or the use of a jig is casting shadows.
IMPROVED VISIBILITY allows users to accurately position the cutter prior to engaging the material and making costly errors.
Lights also indicate when power to the tool is ‘live’, which is useful in combination with the Automatic Shut-Off feature.
Micro-Adjustable Side Fence with adjustable facings and 0.1mm increments for accurate edge rebating, grooving and moulding.
Phosphor Bronze Bushings are corrosion resistant, durable and self-lubricating to prevent racking and deliver a smooth, accurate plunge action.
Anti-Scratch Base Plate low-friction, screw-mounted, replaceable phenolic base plate. Provides smooth movement of router over material.
Integrated Router Rest provides users with a safe and convenient way of changing cutters whilst preventing dust and debris from work surfaces from entering motor vents.
Wide Base Aperture to suit large profile and jointing cutters.
ER Style Collet features a double-locking safety feature to prevent accidental cutter ejection and a multi-slit profile for concentric clamping to the cutter shank.
3-Position Rotating Turret is used to pre-set plunge depth limits for fast, repeatable batch and stepped cutting.
Plunge Depth Limiter is easy to set and prevents over-cutting.
Spindle Lock for quick and easy router cutter changes.
