Q: What is a trim router used for?
A trim router rounds, chamfers and flush-trims edges on doors, boards and edge banding.
ZC577986 - Festool Cordless Edge Router OFKC 500 R3 EB-Basic
This cordless router combines accurate performance with the freedom to work without power cords getting in the way. Depth adjustment is precise to 1/256" (0.1mm), and matched bases and cutters help ensure consistent routing results. The lightweight, well-balanced design provides comfortable handling, while the hard-fiber base glides smoothly and helps prevent surface scratches.
A push-button spindle lock allows quick bit changes, and variable-speed control lets you match rpm to the material to reduce scorching. For cleaner operation, the transparent dust-extraction attachment improves chip control and visibility at the cut. Powered by a quiet, efficient brushless EC-TEC motor, the router also features motor-temperature monitoring to help extend service life.

A trim router rounds, chamfers and flush-trims edges on doors, boards and edge banding.
The router adjusts cutting depth in increments as fine as 1/256" for precise, repeatable edge work.
No, it runs on an 18V battery with Bluetooth-enabled dust extraction, so there is no cord or hose tethering the router to a fixed point.
A push-button spindle lock holds the spindle steady, letting you swap router bits quickly without extra tools.
