A multipurpose power tool for shaping, hollowing out, and cutting materials, mostly wood, an electric router is used in carpentry and woodworking.Electric routers are utilized for several purposes, including hollowing out sections of wood (like dadoes and mortises), shaping edges (like chamfering and rounding), and cutting decorative profiles (like ogees and coves) to be placed on the edges of wooden objects.
Fixed-Base Router: This kind's base slides up and down to change depth, while the router bit is fixed in position.
Plunge Router: To begin routing from a certain place, a plunge router's base can be inserted into the material. They can modify depth more easily and are more adaptable.
To create various cutting and shaping effects, routers employ a broad range of bits with various profiles. Depending on the intended result, these elements can be altered.
