minus-square@gibmiserOPlink22•2 months agoI have one like this I got from the dump someone set aside.
minus-squareBrokkrlink10•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-square@gibmiserOPlink7•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-squaresouthsamurailinkfedilink5•2 months agoTbh, that makes it even more impressive to me. Those suckers are pretty damn hard to control freehand.
Can you link a picture of what your hand router looks like?
