Knowing the cutter depth is essential to crack routing. Therefore, a router with an easy-to-read depth indicator plate that shows the depth of the routed cut can be very beneficial to the operator.
An electric-operated clutch feature stops and starts the cutter-head on demand, which also supports worker safety. And an ergonomic handle that’s adjustable to the height of the operator ensures better control and handling, meaning less physical stress on the worker.
Finally, the configuration of the cutter teeth can also lead to improved productivity and performance of the router. Carbide-tipped cutters up to 2-in. wide, combined with high levels of RPMs can provide maximum crack routing performance with no bucking.
