Frequently asked questions

General

Trim router type

The type of flusher determines its primary use, whether it is for detail work or heavier tasks.

Dimensions

The size of the router affects maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. A more compact drill is easier to maneuver in tight areas.

Weight (kg)

Weight affects user fatigue during extended use. A lighter trim router is more comfortable for prolonged sessions.

Warranty

The warranty ensures the durability and reliability of the tool. A longer warranty gives you more peace of mind if you have a problem with your trimmer.

Technical specifications

Wood routing

Wood routing is one of the trim router's main uses, whether for soft or hardwood.

Plastic routing

Routing plastics requires a mastery of speed and heat to avoid melting or cracking the material if you work with plastics on a regular basis.

Max. no-load speed

Idle speed determines how fast the router bit rotates. The higher the speed, the faster and more efficient the trimmer cuts.

Depth adjustment

Depth control is essential for consistent, accurate results. Allows the trimmer to adjust precisely to the job at hand.

Collet diameter

The collet diameter determines the size of the router bits the trim router can accept. A larger diameter collet provides more flexibility in choosing bits.

Dust extraction

Good suction improves visibility and reduces exposure to harmful particles, especially useful for clean, safe work environments.

Power supply and operation

Power supply

Determines whether the trim router is corded or cordless, which affects mobility and performance. A corded trimmer offers more consistent power, while a cordless trimmer offers more freedom.

Power cord

Cord length affects freedom of movement when using a trim router. A longer cord allows you to work without an extension cord.

Power

Power determines the machine's ability to cut various materials with precision and ease. Higher power allows you to work faster and more efficiently, especially with hard or tough materials such as solid wood or tough plastics.

Electrical voltage

Indicates the power and battery life of a cordless trim router. Higher voltage provides more power and longer run time for extended sessions.

Variable speed

Allows speed adjustment based on the material for better control. Variable speed enables adaptation to different materials and task types.

Sound specifications

Sound power level

Noise level affects user comfort, especially during prolonged use. A lower noise level is more comfortable and reduces hearing fatigue.

Sound pressure level

Indicates the noise level perceived by the user while operating the tool. Lower sound pressure levels make operation more comfortable and less tiring.

Noise uncertainty (K factor)

Indicates the accuracy of reported noise measurements. A lower uncertainty means that noise levels are closer to actual values.

Vibration specifications

Vibration level

Vibrations affect comfort and safety when using the trimmer. Less vibration reduces fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Vibration k-factor

Measures the accuracy of reported vibration values. A lower uncertainty guarantees a better evaluation of the felt vibrations.
