Trimmer

About Trimmer

A trimmer, also called a laminate trimmer or compact router, is a small one-hand router for trimming laminate and veneer edges, rounding and chamfering edges, cutting small grooves and making hinge recesses. Carpenters, furniture makers, modular kitchen and wardrobe makers, and interior fit-out teams use it every day on plywood, MDF and laminated boards.

Most trimmers take router bits with a 6 mm or 1/4 inch shank, and some accept 8 mm; check the collet size and buy bits to match. Variable speed helps when using larger bits or working on plastics and laminates that can melt at high speed. A fixed base suits edge trimming, while plunge, tilt and offset bases add more uses. Cordless trimmers are handy on site and run on your existing battery platform, while corded models suit long workshop use. Feed against the bit's rotation, take light passes, keep both hands on the tool, and wear eye and ear protection. Unplug or remove the battery before changing bits.
