Overview
Measuring 12 x 3.5 x 4 inches and weighing just 1 pound, this 18V cordless router is sized for one-handed trim and edge work. Its compact body spins at roughly 24 radians per second.
The -20 suffix and compact dimensions suggest this is a bare trim-style router meant to pair with an existing 18V battery. Zero recorded purchases in the past month puts it among the less frequently bought listings in this batch.
- 18V cordless power
- 1 pound weight
- 12 x 3.5 x 4 inch size
- 24 rad/sec speed
Who it's for
Fits woodworkers who already own an 18V battery and need a light, one-handed router for edges and trim. Not a fit for anyone routing large panels or removing heavy stock, where a full-size router works better.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Very light at 1 pound
- Compact for one-handed control
- Cordless 18V operation
- Sold as bare tool per -20 suffix
- Small size limits heavy cuts
Performance notes
A compact router like this is built for edge profiles and detail cuts where a full-size router would be too bulky to control with one hand. The listed 24 rad/sec speed and 1 pound weight both point toward light-duty trim work.
