Overview
Cordless 18V router from Metabo, listed here as a bare tool with no battery included. At 2.6 pounds and about 12.5 x 3.5 x 2 inches, it fits the profile of a compact trim or palm router rather than a full size plunge router.
The 36 watt motor power figure listed is low compared to typical full size corded routers, consistent with a compact cordless trim router built for edge work and small profile cuts rather than heavy stock removal. Because the listing marks battery as not included, buyers already on this 18V platform get more value than someone starting from scratch.
- 18V cordless power source
- 2.6 pound tool weight
- Compact 12.5 x 3.5 x 2 inch footprint
- Bare tool, battery sold separately
Who it's for
Suits woodworkers and DIYers who already own compatible 18V batteries and want a light router for trimming, edge profiles, or laminate work. Not for anyone needing a corded router for deep plunge cuts or large panel routing.
Pros and cons
- Light at 2.6 pounds for one-handed trim work
- Runs on an 18V battery platform for cordless freedom
- Compact dimensions suit tight edge and corner work
- Sold as a bare tool, battery and charger not included
- Motor power rated well below full-size corded routers
Performance notes
Cordless routers in this weight and motor class are built around portability rather than raw cutting power, so expect it to handle roundovers, edge profiles, and light trim work rather than deep dado or large diameter bit cutting.
