- Lightest published weight here: 2.2 lb before the battery
- Offset design keeps most of the tool over the workpiece for edge work
- Fine depth adjustment of 0.04" per dial turn
- Finger barriers around the bit area
Keep in mind
- One speed only (13,000 RPM) — not ideal for bigger bits
- 12V: made for edge forming and trimming, not deep cuts
- No edge guide in the box
