minus-squaregibmiser@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·2 months agoI have one like this I got from the dump someone set aside.
minus-squareBrokkr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 months agoThanks, for reference, that’s not a hand router. Hand routers are not electric. Look up stanley 71 for a common example. What you have is standard electric router. There are also compact electric routers (sometimes called trim routers).
minus-squaregibmiser@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoWell when I googled hand router only electric came up. Didn’t even occur to me there was a non electric version, I assumed it would be all chisel. Looks cool, but exhausting.
minus-squareBrokkr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoThey usually aren’t used to remove a bulk of the material. That is done with a chisel usually. They are very good at cleaning up the last surface and sneaking up on a perfect fit.
minus-squaresouthsamurailinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoTbh, that makes it even more impressive to me. Those suckers are pretty damn hard to control freehand.
