A full-size router is overkill for edge work and hard to steer one-handed along a curve. This palm router puts 1 HP, or 710 W, behind a 1/4 in, or 6.35 mm, collet in a body sized for a single hand, with six speed settings spanning 10,000 to 32,000 RPM no-load. That range matters because a large-diameter bit needs the low end while a small trimming bit wants the top. Soft start ramps the motor up rather than snapping to speed, which keeps the first inch of a cut from wandering and takes the jolt out of a one-handed grip. Cutting depth adjusts up to 0.79 in, or 20 mm, so thick stock gets handled in controlled passes. A fixed base holds the setting, and a parallel guide rides an edge for straight cuts and grooves while freehand work follows a curve. A dust hood pulls chips off the cut line so the layout stays visible. The 1/4 in collet accepts a wide range of router bits, and the tool mounts on a router table or insert plate. At 10.24 x 8.27 x 7.09 in and 6.17 lb, it runs corded for continuous work.
1-HP Motor Across Six Speeds: A 1 HP, or 710 W, motor runs six variable settings from 10,000 to 32,000 RPM, matching bit diameter to speed instead of one fixed rate
Cuts to 0.79-in Depth: Cutting depth adjusts up to 0.79 in, or 20 mm, so thick stock comes off in controlled passes rather than one overloaded plunge through the material
Soft Start Steadies the First Cut: The motor ramps up instead of snapping to speed, cutting the startup jolt in a one-handed grip and keeping the opening pass accurate
Trims Edges and Cuts Grooves: One tool covers edge trimming, furniture making, grooving, curves, straight cuts, and general woodworking without a second machine
Fixed Base With Parallel Guide: A fixed base locks the depth setting and the parallel guide rides a workpiece edge for straight cuts, while freehand work follows curves
Dust Hood Clears the Cut Line: A dust hood pulls chips away as the bit works, so the layout line stays visible and the finished pass does not get buried under debris
1/4-in Collet Takes Common Bits: The 1/4 in, or 6.35 mm, collet accepts a wide range of router bits, and the tool mounts on a router table or insert plate for fixed work
6.17-lb Body for One-Hand Work: At 10.24 x 8.27 x 7.09 in and 6.17 lb, the palm body steers with one hand, and a corded supply keeps output steady through a long session
