This router features a 2.5 HP motor that runs at 14A to ensure that you can easily handle almost any project that’s on your horizon. On the top, there’s an LCD display that lets you select the bit type and material for a suggested speed and and motor maintains its RPM while cutting to ensure a consistent finish.
