Abstract
A router includes a motor housing, a motor provided in the motor housing driving a collet for turning a cutting tool, and a base for resting on a workpiece. Support columns mounted to the base allow the motor housing to move relative to the base in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the cutting tool. The support columns are spaced apart in a direction transverse to the rotational axis, and the motor housing is connected to the support columns by means of support members spaced apart in a direction parallel to the rotational axis.

A router comprising:
- a motor housing;
- a motor provided in the motor housing for turning a cutting tool;
- a base for engaging a workpiece;
- and
- a plurality of support columns mounted to said base and having a longitudinal axis extending in a direction parallel to a rotational axis of the cutting tool;
- the plurality of support columns allowing the motor housing to slidingly move relative to the base in a direction substantially parallel to the rotational axis;
- and
- a plurality of support members supporting the motor housing, each support member circumscribing the motor housing and slidably mounted relative to the base along the plurality of support columns, and spaced apart from each other in a direction parallel to said rotational axis,
- wherein said plurality of support columns are spaced apart in a direction transverse to said rotational axis, and said motor housing is connected to said plurality of support columns through the plurality of support members.
