Patent ID: 8430611

Claim:
A versatile hand router, comprising: a base plate suitable for being applied to a flat surface; a motor body attached to a frame and having a milling shaft and hand gripping means, with said motor body being attached to said frame by a pivoting link that allows said motor body to pivot with respect to said frame, in a pivoting plane orthogonal to the plane of said base plate, between a vertical position and at least one inclined position, wherein said milling shaft is orthogonal to the plane of said base plate in said vertical position and said milling shaft is inclined with respect to the plane of said base plate in said at least one inclined position; a pivoting locking means for selectively fixing the inclined position of said motor body; at least one side guiding edge comprised in an inclined plane with respect to said pivoting plane and which extends in a cantilever arrangement and above said base plate, such that a milling cutter mounted on said milling shaft can be positioned under said side guiding edge when said motor body is in the inclined position; a supporting-guide means for supporting said frame such that, while maintaining an inclined position fixed by said pivoting locking means, said frame can slide in a vertical direction, orthogonal to the plane of said base plate; and vertical locking means for selectively fixing the vertical position of said frame.
