It offers an 80mm plunge depth, ideal for deep cutting applications, lock jigs, worktop joints, and timber profiling. The router features a unique Router Table Safety Switch that bypasses the Automatic Power Shut Off feature and replaces the need for a typical NVR (No Volt Release) switch. Automatic Power Shut-Off prevents accidental start-up if the trigger lock-on switch is engaged and the power supply is lost and restored or interrupted. The 2-in-1 Plunge and Router Table Height Adjuster can be used from above and below the router, in both table and hand-held modes. It includes a side fence, 1/2" collet, guide bush pin, 30mm guide bush, guide bush plate, top mount extraction adapter, cyclone dust adapter, a 22mm spanner, and a blow-moulded case. Specifications: 2300W, 240V, 80mm Plunge Depth.
The Trend T14EK Router is designed for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who need a powerful and versatile tool for woodworking. Its 2300W motor and 80mm plunge depth make it ideal for deep cutting, jointing, and profiling tasks. Note that while the router includes safety features, users should always prioritize safety and follow all operating instructions to prevent injury.
