A plunge router is a specialized power tool used in woodworking to create intricate and precise cuts, holes, and designs on the surface of a workpiece. Its unique feature allows the router bit to be lowered and raised (plunged) into the material while the router is in operation, providing the flexibility to start or stop the cut anywhere on the piece, making it suitable for tasks like inlays, dadoes, and mortises.
