Router requirements

Handheld Router

What Router Should I Use? Leigh recommends a midsize router, from 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 HP (9-13 amps) with an 8mm collet for the included bits. Or a 1/2" collet for the included 1/2" to 8mm reducer. This size provides great power to weight ratio. Fixed base routers are ideal because they have a lower center of gravity with handles mounted to the router base rather than the motor, as with plunge routers. However, if you are proficient with the use of a plunge router, it works just as well. A plunge router is recommended for the optional Isoloc Templates. When buying a router, also consider ergonomics, switch location, a good plunge mechanism and easy, accurate adjustment of bit height.  

Router Collets 8mm shank bits require the use of a collet reducer, or a collet that matches the bit size. See video >

 
Adaptors for your Router All Leigh Dovetail & Box Joint Jigs need a router fitted with a Leigh guide bushing. Because the router industry isn't standardized, you may need an adaptor to fit the guide bushing to your router. Learn more >
