The Difference Between Electric Router and Edge Trimming Machines

Electric router and trimming machines are two common woodworking electric tools that play important roles in the wood processing industry. Although they have some similarities in their functions and functions, there are still some differences in their design, structure, and use.

Electric router is a type of electric tool specifically used for wood processing, typically consisting of an electric motor, base, column, worktable, rotating cutting tool, etc. The working principle of Electric router is to cut, mill, and carve wood by rotating the cutting tool. The characteristics of Electric router are good processing effect, high efficiency, and simple operation, suitable for making wooden products such as furniture, doors and windows, stairs, floors, etc. 

In the wood processing industry, Electric router is widely used in production and manufacturing processes. In contrast, a trimming machine is an electric tool specifically designed for trimming wood edges, typically consisting of an electric motor, workbench, rotating cutting tools, etc. The working principle of a trimming machine is to cut, trim, and polish the edges of wood by rotating the cutting tool. The characteristics of the trimming machine are high machining accuracy, easy operation, and suitable for fine machining and processing of wood edges.

There are also some structural differences between Electric router and edge trimming machines. Electric router usually consists of an electric motor, a base, a column, a workbench, a rotating tool, etc. The base and column are used to support and fix the equipment, the workbench is used to place wood, and the rotating tool is used for processing operations. 

The structure of Electric  router is relatively complex and requires multiple adjustments and settings to adapt to different processing requirements. The edge trimming machine is relatively simple, usually only adjusting the height and angle of the cutting tool is needed to carry out machining operations. The structure of the trimming machine is simple, easy to operate and maintain, and suitable for small wood processing plants and personal use.

There are also some differences in the use of Electric router and edge trimming machines. Electric router is suitable for processing various types of wood, including hardwood, cork, density board, particle board, etc. There are various types of cutting tools for Electric router, and different cutting tools can be selected according to different processing requirements, such as straight cutters, curved cutters, round nose cutters, tapered cutters, V-shaped cutters, etc.

 The machining accuracy and speed of Electric router depend on the quality and speed of the cutting tool, as well as the stability and rigidity of the workbench and column. The edge trimming machine is mainly used for trimming the edges of wood, suitable for operations such as chamfering, chamfering, and polishing wood. There are relatively few types of cutting tools for edge trimming machines, usually only a few commonly used tools, such as straight knives, round nose knives, etc. The machining accuracy and speed of the trimming machine depend on the quality and speed of the cutting tool, as well as the stability and rigidity of the workbench.

When selecting Electric router and edge trimming machines, it is necessary to choose according to specific processing requirements and usage scenarios. If multiple processing operations are required to produce wooden products of various shapes and sizes, then Electric router is a better choice. If only wood edges need to be trimmed and treated, then a trimming machine is a more suitable choice.

Electric router and edge trimming machines are two important woodworking electric tools that play an important role in the wood processing industry. Although they have some similarities in their functions and functions, there are still some differences in their design, structure, and use. Choosing the appropriate tool can improve processing efficiency and quality, reduce cost and time waste.
