Cordless freedom.

Enjoy smooth workflows and effortless handling without tangled power cords. The cordless design gives you the freedom to move and start routing immediately with just a few quick settings.

Simple operation.

Lightweight and slim, the OFKC 500 sits comfortably in your hand for easy control. Cutters are perfectly matched to the base opening, keeping the router stable and tilt-proof. That means safe, straightforward routing with no rework required.

Precise results.

Fine-tune cutting depth in exact 1/256" (0.1 mm) increments for flawless alignment. With the cutter mounted directly on the spindle, run-out accuracy is maximized for a clean finish. The flush ball bearing attachment keeps the profile low, giving you tighter clearances for rabbets and confined spaces.

Low profile

The flush ball bearing mount keeps the height down to just ½” (12 mm), making it easy to route rebates or stacks of panels in tight spaces.

Precise depth adjustment

Adjust routing depth accurately to 1/256” (1/10 mm). A simple lock keeps the router base secure during operation.

Cutter replacement in seconds

Swap bits quickly and easily with the push-button spindle stop.

Spot on work

The clear dust extraction attachment captures shavings, while the spring-loaded ball bearing brake prevents burn marks for flawless surfaces.

Brushless EC-TEC motor

Quiet, efficient, and powerful. Built-in motor management minimizes vibration and extends service life.

Lightweight and comfortable

Sleek design and angled battery placement deliver a perfect center of gravity for horizontal or vertical use.

Excellent true-running precision

Cutters mount directly to the spindle for top-notch run-out accuracy and professional-quality results.

Cordless Freedom

All the control of a trim router - without the cord getting in your way.

Easy on surfaces

The durable base runner prevents scratches or dents and glides smoothly across any material.

Stable platform

A smaller hole diameter in the base plate, paired with matching cutters, ensures perfect milling without tipping.

More clearance

The spring-steel ball bearing brake provides extra space to maneuver when working without dust extraction.

peed control adapted to the material

MMC electronics let you adjust speed to match the material, keeping it constant under load. Temperature monitoring protects the motor for long-lasting performance
