The Carbide ER-11 Compact Router is our custom-made trim router packaged for use with any of our CNC routers. We worked with our router manufacturer for a year to develop this router for us.
Why buy an ER-11 router?
There's only one reason to buy this router over the less expensive Carbide Compact Router: you need to use cutters or drills with a shank diameter other than 1/8" and 1/4". Other than the collets, there is no difference.
