Overview
The WEN 2305 is a corded electric router running on 120V power at a fixed 30,000 RPM, weighing 3.6 pounds. It suits hobbyists and light DIY users doing trim, edge and template routing who want steady wall power rather than a battery.
At 7 x 11.5 x 3.8 inches and 3.6 pounds, the WEN 2305 is compact enough for one-handed edge work while corded power keeps output steady for as long as the job takes. Its speed is fixed rather than variable, so it runs at one setting regardless of bit size or material, a tradeoff worth weighing against variable-speed routers.
- 120V corded power source
- Fixed 30,000 RPM speed
- 3.6 pound weight
- 7 x 11.5 x 3.8 inch footprint
Who it's for
DIYers and occasional woodworkers who want an affordable corded router for edge profiles, dado work and template routing. Less suited to users who need to slow the router down for larger bits or softer materials, since speed is not adjustable.
Pros and cons
- Steady corded power with no battery to recharge
- Compact 3.6 pound body for edge and trim work
- Straightforward single-speed operation
- Fixed 30,000 RPM with no speed adjustment
- Corded design limits reach without an extension cord
Performance notes
Corded operation means the WEN 2305 draws steady 120V power without the runtime limits of a battery, useful for longer routing sessions. Running at a single fixed 30,000 RPM keeps things simple, though it means the tool cannot be slowed for larger bits or more delicate material where a lower speed reduces burning or tearout.
