Compact Routers

If you do a lot of handheld routing, especially edge profiles and shallow cutouts, you’ll really appreciate one of these little/big routers. In fact, in the WOOD magazine shop, we find them so handy and nimble that we reach for them more than any other router. But this new category of routers has a few limitations, so make one of these your second router purchase; your first should be a mid-size router or kit.
