Description of Black & Decker RP250 10 Amp 2-1/4-Inch Variable Speed Plunge Router

At the same time, this unit does everything that a fixed-base router does, shaping decorative edges licitly split, mortising door edges for hinge installation. And, it's easy to use. Thanks to the excellent control and precision this 2-1/4-inch router offers, you'll quickly execute precise free-hand cutouts, template cuts, and inlays. Great for a wide variety of routing tasks, a beefy 2-horsepower, 10 amp motor spins the bit at variable speeds from 8,000 to 27,000 rpm. An electronic variable speed dial maintains a constant cutting speed through hardwoods and soft wood alike. A rack-and-pinion height adjustment lets you set the depth of cut to within a 1/16-inch. Three easy-to-set turret stops reduce set-up time for repetitive cuts at the same depth.

One common problem with routing is not being able to see the work. The tool itself gets in the way as you cut, blocking your vision so you can't really tell how the cut is progressing. Black & Decker solved this problem with a special design that offers four times the visibility of traditional routers for better control, more accurate cuts and cleaner edges. A large plastic window, contoured to the router base, protects against wood chips and other debris. A dust extraction chute also clears the work surface when attached to a shop vacuum.

Best of all, a push-button spindle lock makes changing bits a snap. A soft start feature gradually brings the router to the selected speed, so you can ease into the cut with optimal control--a great way to avoid costly mistakes. And, an enlarged base makes it easier to keep the router flat and level to the work surface. --Brian D. Olson
