poroitin

Poroitin is a Finnish term that translates to "router" in English, specifically referring to the piece of woodworking machinery. In woodworking, a router is a power tool with a spinning cutter that can hollow out an area in hard material, such as wood, plastic, or stone. Routers are used to shape and carve wood, creating decorative edges, grooves, mortises, and joints. They come in various forms, including handheld and stationary benchtop models. Handheld routers are versatile and can be guided over the workpiece, while stationary routers are mounted to a table, allowing the wood to be moved over the spinning bit. The cutting bits themselves come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, each designed for specific tasks, such as rounding edges, creating decorative patterns, or cutting dados. The speed of the router's motor, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM), is also a critical factor in achieving clean cuts and avoiding burning. Proper technique and safety precautions are essential when operating a router due to the high-speed rotating bit.
