Make intricate patterns in both the exterior and interior of your workpieces with the WEN Trim Router. This versatile machine features a variable-speed 6-amp motor, providing speeds from 12,000 to 30,000 rotations per minute. The 1/4-inch collet allows for compatibility with a wide variety of 1/4-inch-shank bits. Our soft startup design prevents damage to your workpiece and lengthens the tool’s lifespan. The adjustable locking straight base can be adjusted up to 1-5/8 inches up and down, allowing users to create gradual passes that slowly increase in depth. The straight base also features a transparent base plate for maximum vision to your line of cut during operation. The included guide fence attaches easily for routing perfectly straight lines, helping to create dadoes and grooves along the workpiece. Swap on the trim guide for maintaining an equal cutting distance along the edges of irregularly shaped workpieces. And, because it’s a WEN product, your woodworking router comes backed by a two-year warranty, a stocked inventory of replacement parts, and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you stepped your carpentry up a notch? Remember WEN. Review: What a DEAL WEN RT 1460 router 1/4" handheld router - I purchased these routers (x2) to install in my workbench, the routers are well made and handles 1/4" shank bits. I use one router with a round over bit installed and the other with a flush trim bit installed. The routers have plenty of power to use on solid hardwood, and seem have a lower noise level than my larger routers and other trim routers. So essentially I have a dual router system set up on my workbench. The package seemed very heavy when I received it as I was expecting a light weight cheaper router but boy was I surprised when I opened it up to reveal a well made solidly built router, the weight is solid and preforms very well. I would recommend these routers for handheld or table mount. For the value versus the price you can't beat it. As I mentioned I purchased 2 of these to use in my woodworking shop. The router comes with a convenient guide fence for straight cuts and a trim guide that can be used for irregular and curved edges. My final rating is 5 stars for the product I am extremely happy with my purchases.

This is a great little trim router for the price. I have only used it a couple times, but I can tell this one is going to be used a lot. I love that it is a variable speed trim router, and there really is no fussing with the set up. It comes with some accessories, nothing I would use, but the same can be said with every router I have ever purchased. For the cost, this thing is great. If wen wanted to charge a little more, and include a poly case, i'd pay and extra 10$-15$ for this thing. It is the only thing I wish it came with. That being said, I am giving it 5 stars for it's usability. ## Frequently Bought Together - WEN RT1460 6-Amp Handheld 1/4-Inch Variable Speed Laminate Trim Router for Woodworking - KOWOOD Router Bits Set of 15 Pieces 1/4 Inch Woodwork Tools for Beginners - WEN RT6033 15-Amp Variable Speed Plunge Woodworking Router Kit with Carrying Case & Edge Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/490361113-rt1460-6-amp-handheld-1-4-inch-variable-speed-laminate](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/490361113-rt1460-6-amp-handheld-1-4-inch-variable-speed-laminate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
