The brushless technology means fewer moving parts, resulting in a quieter motor that requires no maintenance and offers better energy utilization from the battery pack due to reduced friction. It includes variable speed with soft start for precise control across various materials. A vacuum adaptor is provided for dust extraction, and a lock-on/off switch enhances safety. The base is compatible with 3/8” and ¼” collets, fitting most router bits. For improved visibility, it has a built-in LED, and its ergonomic design ensures user comfort during operation. This is a bare tool, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately.
