A plunge router lowers the spinning bit into the wood on spring-loaded columns, so you can start a cut in the middle of a board. Carpenters, cabinet makers and furniture shops use plunge routers for dados, grooves, mortises, hinge recesses, edge profiles and copying shapes with a template.

How to choose a plunge router

  • Power: 900W to 1,300W routers are light and handle small bits and edge work. 1,600W to 2,300W routers keep their speed with large bits and deep cuts in hardwood.
  • Collet size: 1/4" collets take small bits. 1/2" collets hold larger, heavier bits more securely. Many models come with both.
  • Variable speed: lower speeds suit large-diameter bits and plastics, while higher speeds give clean cuts with small bits.
  • Depth control: a turret stop and fine depth adjustment let you repeat the same cut depth on many pieces.

Plunge router or palm router?

A plunge router is the better choice for grooves, mortises and big profiles. For trimming laminate, rounding edges and light work with one hand, a palm router or trimmer is lighter and easier to control. See all wood routers, including cordless routers.

Stock up on router bits, or start with a router bit set that covers the common profiles.
