Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A router includes a housing and a motor assembly disposed within the housing. The motor assembly includes a driven shaft having a cavity on a first end of the driven shaft. The router includes a collet that is configured to mate into the cavity of the driven shaft with the collet being configured to grip a shank of a router bit. The router includes a gear mechanism that is configured to couple and decouple from a second end of the driven shaft such that a rotation of the gear mechanism when the gear mechanism is coupled to the second end of the driven shaft causes at least one of tightening and loosening of the collet.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A router, comprising: a motor assembly; a frame comprising a top member, a base having an aperture, and at least two parallel rails connecting the top member and the base; a bushing member connected to the motor assembly, wherein the bushing member and the motor assembly are configured to traverse along the rails and the bushing member comprising an orifice; an extrusion configured to fit within the orifice of the bushing member, the extrusion comprising a threaded orifice; and a threaded rod extending through the threaded orifice of the extrusion, wherein when the extrusion is locked to the bushing, the motor assembly comprises a fixed base mode and when the extrusion is released from the bushing, the motor assembly comprises a free translation mode. 2. The router of claim 1 wherein when the extrusion is locked to the bushing, the motor assembly comprises one of a fixed base mode and a micro-adjust mode. 3. The router of claim 2 further comprising a micro-adjust control coupled to the threaded rod. 4. The router of claim 1 further comprising a macro-adjust control coupled to the threaded rod. 5. The router of claim 1 wherein the motor assembly comprises a brushless motor.
