Description
The Yato cordless router 18V 3-in-1 is a versatile and powerful tool designed especially for precise machining of wood, plastic and other materials. This cordless router gives significant freedom of movement because it is not tied to a power cord, which makes it a very practical tool for both professionals and DIY users. The tool belongs to the Yato 18V battery range, which means it is compatible with all Yato 18V lithium-ion batteries, so you can use the same battery in several different Yato tools.
This 3-in-1 router offers three different functions in one tool: it works as a conventional router, a plunge router and an edge trimmer. This makes it a very versatile tool for many machining tasks, such as profiling, edge finishing, grooving and recessing.
The router takes a 6 mm or 8 mm collet, which allows a wide range of router bits of different sizes to be used. The tool offers an adjustable speed (10,000 – 30,000 min⁻¹), which allows different materials to be machined precisely and under control. The router also has an LED light that improves visibility and accuracy in the work area, especially in dim conditions.
The router is ergonomically shaped, and its light construction makes it pleasant to use even for long periods. This body-only model is intended for those who already own a Yato 18V battery and charger, but if you need a complete set, you can buy it separately.
