What are the two types of Wood Working Routers

Basically, routers can be divided into two major types as fixed base and plunge base. In the fixed base, when you insert the bit into the router and locked the base then you can change the depth of the bit.

Whereas in another type which is plunged type, the bit can be locked in the router and after locking it can move in and out of the wooden material. Usually, fixed base routers are more popular.

Because in this type changing the bit is easy and also many woodworkers like to use the fixed base instead of plunge base routers.

Speed of the Router

The speed of the router should be variable and it is a very important feature that each woodworking router must-have. While working with large diameter bits, it is important to operate the router at a lower rpm (rotations per minute) value.

It is important because of safety purposes. Remember that it is not safe to operate the large diameter bit router at high-speed rpm.
