Overview
A corded router from AVID running on 110V AC power, drawing 5.3 amps through a 1.25 horsepower motor that spins up to 35,000 RPM. Those figures point to a compact or trim-style router rather than a full-size plunge router.
The 1.25 horsepower rating and 35,000 RPM top speed are both in the range typical of compact and trim routers, used for edge work, laminate trimming and detail cuts rather than heavy stock removal. AVID is not a widely established router brand, so the amperage and horsepower figures here are the main basis for judging it against known names. Collet size, base type and included bits are not listed.
- 110V AC corded power
- 5.3 amp, 1.25 horsepower motor
- 35,000 RPM top speed
- Compact or trim-style router build
Who it's for
Fits someone doing trim work, edge profiling or light detail routing rather than deep plunge cuts in thick stock. A cabinetmaker needing a full-size plunge router with a larger motor and collet range should look at that class of tool instead.
Pros and cons
- High 35,000 RPM top speed for clean cuts
- Compact motor draws only 5.3 amps
- Collet and base type not specified
- Not sized for heavy stock removal
- Included bits not listed
Performance notes
A 35,000 RPM top speed and 1.25 horsepower motor is a combination built for fast, clean cuts in smaller bits rather than raw torque through thick material. The 5.3 amp draw on a 110V circuit is modest, consistent with a compact router rather than a full-size cabinet-grade unit.
