About these trimmers.
These are the trimmers I use, I have found the advantages in these particular trimmers are that the bases are clear plastic, which allows some vision through them.
Being plastic it is easy to drill and attach a riding knife or “v” shaped bed to the bottom of the actual bed, this allows you to work on concave moldings using different shaped cutters.
With health and safety being what it is, this is probably not permitted; as no guides or physical safety precautions can be fitted to the machine, this leaves just the self-preservation, safety option.
These trimmers are as per their big brother routers, can snatch if pushed too fast or too deep a cut is used. Sharp cutters are a must when using these machines.
