Key Features & Benefits
- 710W variable-speed motor — dials 10,000–30,000 rpm to suit bit size and material, from fine veneer trimming to larger profile bits.
- Compact 1.8kg body — one-handed control for edge work, hinge recesses and freehand routing where a full-size router is unwieldy.
- 6mm and 1/4″ collet (8mm capable) — accepts common trim and router bits, with shaft lock for fast single-spanner bit changes.
- Flat-top design — stands upside-down securely for safe bit changes and base swaps.
- Complete kit — ships with trimmer base, straight guide, dust nozzle, wrenches and a steel carry case.
When to Use This Router / Trimmer
The RT0700CX is the go-to for laminate and veneer trimming, edge profiling, shallow grooving and template work. Its compact size suits kitchen, joinery and cabinetry tasks where control beats raw power. For deep mortising or large panel-raising bits, step up to a 1/2″ plunge router such as the M3600B, RP1800X05 or RP2301FC05.
Pro Tip: Fit the optional plunge base (as on the RT0700CX2 kit) to turn this trimmer into a precise shallow-plunge router for hinge mortices and inlay recesses.
