ABSTRACT:
A hand-held router is provided that includes a motor with a router bit mounted on the motor in driven relationship. A router head is attached to the motor an at least partially surrounds the router bit. A device for controlling the depth of cut of the router bit is mounted on said router head as is a device for adjusting a second parameter of the cut. In one embodiment, the second controlled parameter is the width of cut made by the router bit. Preferably, a guide block is also movably affixed to the cut width adjustment device and acts as a guide to maintain the uniformity of cut of the router bit. The guide block is adjustable to accommodate workpieces of different thickness. In a second embodiment, the second controlled parameter is the angle of the cut. The router head is adapted for receiving an angular adjustment plate that can be used to determine the angle of attack of the router bit on the workpiece. The angle adjustment plate can be utilized in conjunction with the device for adjusting cut depth to provide an accurate and customized trim for a workpiece of different materials, whether it be aluminum, some other metal or a nonmetallic composite material. In the preferred embodiment, a vacuum port is formed in the router head trailing the router bit and is adapted for coupling to a vacuum device. Particles being removed from a workpiece by the router bit are then transported through the vacuum port from the router head to the collection receptacle of the vacuum device for discard.
