Fixed and plunge base routers, router packages and trimmers - all from top manufacturers. We've got the perfect router for every job.
Perhaps one of the most versatile tools in a woodworker’s repertoire, the router does everything from simple procedures like routing hinge mortises all the way to making beautiful raised panel doors.
Which router model is right for you? It depends on your needs. If this is your first router, consider a mid-sized machine. 2-1/4 HP routers, like the Porter Cable 690LR, pack enough power for most common router tasks into a compact, easy-to-handle package. For bigger jobs and frequent router table work, look to something huskier. With its 3-1/4 HP motor, the Porter Cable 7518 will plough through almost any project with power to spare. A palm-sized router, like the Bosch Colt, can’t be beat for one-handed trimming or zipping nimbly through a range of delicate work. If you have a repetitive trimming or shaping task on your hands, choose a highly specialized tool, like the Betterley Edge Trimmer. To maximize your routing repertoire, opt for a router combo package. For a fraction of what it would cost to buy plunge bases, edge guides and other add-on components separately, you’ll get the “extras” you need to take your router work to the next level. Whatever the task, you’ll find the ideal router at Rockler, along with a complete selection of router bits, router tables and more.
