Overview

Listed as a router, the DM2601-BLACK-001 runs on a 3.7V battery at up to 18000 RPM and weighs just 6.4 ounces, sizing more typical of a compact detail tool than a full-size wood router.

A 3.7V battery and weight under 7 ounces are well below what full-size routers use, so this is best understood as a light, handheld tool for fine work rather than deep cuts or joinery. The 18000 RPM speed supports that detail-oriented use.

Who it's for

Suits light craft work such as engraving, edge trimming or small detail cuts where a lightweight, one-handed tool helps. Not a substitute for a full-size router on deep cuts, dados or large woodworking joints.
