What you can do with a router

With the right bit you turn a plain board into something finished: rounded or profiled edges, neat grooves for a back panel, rebates so boards slot together. It's the difference between 'knocked together' and 'looks shop-bought'. The included bits cover the most common profiles.

In practice

Set the variable speed to the material and bit diameter. Always work on a firm surface, in the right direction and with protective gear - a router spins fast and throws chips. After the job everything goes back in the case so the bits don't get lost.

Who is it a good gift for?

Ideal for the advanced DIYer or woodworking lover who wants to give furniture or cabinets a clean finish. The complete set makes it an 'all-in' gift. Less suitable for a complete beginner with no power-tool experience, or for daily pro use.

Frequently asked questions

Is this suitable for beginners?

For a motivated beginner with respect for safety it's fine to learn on; routing does take practice. Start with soft wood and light cuts.

What's in the case?

Besides the router you get 11 accessories (bits/attachments) in a storage case, so you can start right away.

Is it cordless?

No, it's a corded 1200W model for constant power; you work within reach of a socket.
