ROUTER
First Claim
1. A fixed base router comprising:
- a base assembly comprising a wall delimiting a cylindrical interior space;
a driver assembly rotatably and movably received in the cylindrical interior space of the wall, the driver assembly being movable along a predetermined path with respect to the wall of the base assembly to induce a relative displacement; and
a read-out system comprising a position sensor that detects and processes the relative displacement between the driver assembly and the base assembly to generate a position signal indicating a position of the driver assembly with respect to the base assembly.

Abstract
A fixed base router has a base supporting an upright wall. A motor based driver assembly is received in a cylindrical interior space delimited by the wall and movable along a spiral path. A read-out system includes a position sensor that detects and applies the displacement of the driver assembly along the spiral path to a processor based circuit, which in turn generates a signal indicating the displacement and a display device showing up the displacement for visual inspection. The read-out system allows for precise positioning the driver assembly and thus setting a cutting depth of a tool bit carried on and driven by the driver assembly so that adjustment of positioning of the tool bit is made simple, readable and precise.
