Abstract:
A portable electric right-angle plunge router ( ) is disclosed which has a pair of laterally spaced apart bases ( ), two pair of laterally spaced apart columns ( ) and a motor housing assembly ( ). The bases ( ) have planar work engaging surfaces ( ). Affixed to the bases ( ) are the laterally spaced apart columns ( ) which extend perpendicularly to the work engaging surfaces ( ). The motor housing assembly ( ) has a central axis which is parallel to the work surface and is mounted on the laterally spaced apart columns ( ) to allow the housing assembly to move vertically toward and away from the bases. Laterally space apart column guides ( ) affixed to the housing ( ) are aligned and sized to slidingly engage the columns ( ). A handle is formed in the housing ( ) between the front and rear column guides ( ). A drive motor affixed in the housing has an armature shaft which is rotatable about an axis being substantially the horizontal axis of the housing ( ).
