Overview
A router from Craftsman, model CMEW020, running at a fixed 11000 RPM and drawing AC power, with a listed item weight of 40 pounds.
Speed here is fixed rather than variable, stated as 11000 RPM with no range given. The zero recent purchase figure alongside a substantial review history suggests a longer standing listing that is not currently moving, which is worth weighing alongside the rating.
- Fixed 11000 RPM
- AC powered, corded
Who it's for
Fits woodworkers who want a fixed speed router for routine edge and groove work and are comfortable with a single speed setting. Less suited to anyone who needs variable speed control for different bit sizes and materials.
Pros and cons
- Simple, fixed speed operation
- Established Craftsman brand
- No variable speed control
- No recent purchases in the data
Performance notes
Running at a single fixed 11000 RPM removes the need to dial in a setting, which simplifies operation but also removes the ability to slow down for larger bits or harder material, where a lower speed reduces burning and tear out. AC power means it runs corded rather than off a battery.
