Woodworking Router?

What is the difference between a Plunge Router and a fixed Base Router?Can one do more than the other?

Thanks...

Very good question. A Fixed Base router has the motor threaded into the base. You adjust the depth by turning the motor to the desired depth. There is a scale on most, which allows you to gauge the depth by 1/64th".

A plunge router mounts into the base, and you can adjust the maximum depth, as well as depths in between on some models. When you release the lever, the base lifts the motor/bit assembly out of the workpiece. This router is good for making a cut that doesn't start or end at the edge of the piece. You set the bit over the starting point, open the lever, and plunge the bit into the piece.

Some manufacturers, like Porter-Cable, make a combination kit that contains the fixed and plunge bases plus the motor. Hope this helps.
