Routers & Accessories help you shape edges, cut accurate joinery, and produce repeatable results in woodworking and carpentry. From cabinetry and furniture to trim work and signmaking, a wood router unlocks clean profiles and tight-fitting parts while saving time on sanding and cleanup.

Pick the right router for the job:
- Trim router (palm router): light, one-handed control for laminate work, flush trimming, and small roundovers.
- Fixed-base router: stable depth for edge profiles, jigs, and router table use.
- Plunge router: controlled vertical travel for mortises, stopped dados, and deep grooves.
- Combo kits: swap between fixed and plunge bases; available in corded and cordless options.

Look for features that boost control and cut quality: variable speed to match bit diameter and material, soft start and electronic feedback for smooth power, precise depth turrets with micro-adjust, good sightlines with LED lights, and effective dust collection ports.

Stock the right router accessories:
- Router bits (carbide): straight, spiral upcut/downcut, flush trim bit, roundover, chamfer, rabbeting, cove, ogee, and bearing‑guided pattern bits.
- Collets and sleeves in 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. shank sizes; keep collets clean for secure grip.
- Edge guides, template guides (bushings), and circle-cutting jigs for repeatable routing.
- Router table, fence, lift, insert plates, featherboards, and zero‑clearance rings for safer, accurate table routing.

Buying and setup tips:
- Match horsepower and base size to your workload; heavier cuts favor 2+ HP with 1/2 in. shank bits.
- Check base pattern and guide bushing compatibility with your jigs.
- Make multiple shallow passes, feed against bit rotation, and follow grain to avoid tear-out.
- Use sharp bits, secure the workpiece, and connect dust extraction to protect lungs and improve cut visibility.

Whether you’re cutting mortises, dados, and grooves, flushing edge banding, or pattern routing parts—even preparing work for a CNC router—this collection of routers and accessories will elevate accuracy, speed, and finish quality in your shop.
