Built for routing, trimming, and template-guided material removal work, the Dotco 10L2580-01RT Inline Router combines a compact inline body with 0.9 HP / 0.67 kW output for faster routing in production and repair environments. Its 23,000 RPM free speed helps maintain clean cutting action with properly rated bits, while the 1/4" shank diameter capacity fits common router bits used for edge trimming, panel cutouts, and controlled routing operations. The aluminum housing gives the 10L handle configuration a solid feel, and the rear exhaust routes spent air away from the cutting area and operator’s forward line of work.
The 10L2580-01RT is part of the Cleco Dotco 10-25 and 12-25 inline router family, which uses a higher-power motor for faster routing and accepts separately sold router guides for fixture or template applications. With a 6.9" / 175 mm overall length, 2.43 lb tool weight, and 1/4" air inlet, this pneumatic router is suited for bench work, portable trimming, and manufacturing cells where a compact air-powered routing tool is preferred over a larger electric unit.
Note: Router Template Guide is not included; it is sold separately.

Applications:
- Composite and fiberglass fabrication — trimming edges, routing openings, and following templates with compatible 1/4" shank cutters.
- Aerospace and transportation manufacturing — portable routing on panels, formed parts, and production fixtures where pneumatic tools are preferred.
- Industrial fabrication and repair — controlled material removal, edge cleanup, and repetitive routing tasks at benches or workstations.
- Woodworking and pattern routing — template-guided trimming when the selected bit, material, and speed rating match the tool.
- Maintenance shops and tool rooms — compact routing work where rear exhaust helps move air away from the immediate cutting area.
FAQs:
- Q: What router bit shank size fits the Dotco 10L2580-01RT?
A: This model is specified for 1/4" shank diameter capacity. Use only compatible 1/4" shank router bits or cutters that are appropriate for the material and rated for at least 23,000 RPM. - Q: What is the benefit of rear exhaust on this inline router?
A: Rear exhaust sends spent air toward the back of the tool instead of the front. That can help keep airflow away from the immediate cutting path, especially during template routing or trimming work. - Q: Are router guides included with the tool?
A: No. The manufacturer notes that router guides are sold separately. The tool is supplied with the collet and applicable wrenches, but guide accessories should be selected to match the routing setup. - Q: What air supply should be used with this router?
A: The tool is performance rated at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and requires a minimum hose I.D. of 5/16" / 7.9 mm. Using an undersized hose can restrict airflow and reduce routing performance. - Q: Can this router be used for woodworking or garage projects?
A: Yes, when the air supply, bit rating, and material are appropriate. This is a pneumatic production-style router, so buyers should verify compressor capacity, safe chip control, and accessory compatibility before using it for home shop or woodworking tasks.
