A Sleek Workhorse for Crisp, Crafted Edges
This compact router carves refined lines that instantly elevate cabinetry, shelves, and bespoke millwork. I love the sculptural mix of matte overmold and metallic body—industrial chic with purpose. Pair it with a clear acrylic edge guide to showcase delicate chamfers on painted MDF or warm walnut trims. It’s a small luxury that lends professional polish to every detail.
