WEN 20V Max Cordless Brushless Compact Trim Router with Fixed Base, 4Ah

The WEN 20V Max Cordless Brushless Compact Trim Router provides portable edge routing and trimming without the clutter of a power cord. Designed with an efficient brushless motor, it reduces long-term maintenance while offering extended motor life and strong cutting output for woodworking projects.

Speed control is a central highlight, offering five distinct settings ranging from 12,000 to 28,000 RPM. This allows you to dial in the appropriate speed for specific bits and materials. The router features a standard 1/4-inch collet, ensuring straightforward compatibility with any 1/4-inch shank bits. Power comes from an included 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery that delivers consistent output across the entire charge cycle and swaps freely into the rest of the WEN 20V Max tool lineup.

For height adjustments, the fixed base provides 1-5/8 inches of total travel alongside an integrated 1-inch scale marked in 1/16-inch increments. The baseplate is made from transparent material, ensuring a clear line of sight on your workpiece as you cut. Note that this model comes strictly with a fixed base and is dedicated to 1/4-inch bit shanks, so larger 1/2-inch bits or plunge operations are not supported.

Verdict: The WEN 20V Max Trim Router is a solid pick for woodworkers who want a cordless, variable-speed tool with a clear view of their work. If you already use or plan to expand into the WEN 20V battery platform, it offers dependable trimming performance in an easy-to-adjust package.
