A power tool used for hollowing out an area in a relatively hard workpiece, typically wood or plastic. Essential for decorative edges, grooves, and joinery. Renting a woodworking router is ideal for specific projects like creating custom moldings, decorative edges on furniture, or cutting precise dados and rabbets. It's a specialized tool that most DIYers won't use frequently enough to justify the purchase and bit collection.
