Dotco 12L2580-0124RT Inline Router | 12-25 Series | 0.9 HP | 23,000 RPM | 3/8" Shank Diameter Capacity | Composite Housing | Rear Exhaust

Built for faster routing and trimming work with compatible cutters, the Dotco 12L2580-0124RT Inline Router delivers 0.9 HP in a compact 12-25 Series pneumatic body. It's 23,000 RPM free speed supports clean, efficient cutting when paired with properly rated router bits, while the 3/8" shank diameter capacity gives the operator a larger cutter-shank option than common 1/4" router configurations. The rear exhaust layout directs exhaust air away from the front of the tool, helping keep the work area more manageable during guided routing, trimming, and edge-finishing tasks.

This Dotco inline router uses a composite housing for a practical handled weight and a comfortable gripping surface during repeated cuts. The roll valve (a rotary-style throttle control) supports convenient operation during setup, repositioning, and production-style routing. Router guides are sold separately, allowing buyers to match the guide setup to the cutter, template, and material being routed.

Note: Router Template Guide is not included; it is sold separately.

Applications:

• Composite fabrication: Routing edges, openings, and profiles in compatible composite materials when used with the correct cutter and dust-control process.
• Aerospace and transportation shops: Trimming panels, fitted parts, and lightweight components where a compact inline router body helps with controlled handling.
• Laminate and plastic trimming: Cutting and finishing sheet material edges, openings, and template-guided profiles.
• Industrial MRO and repair work: Controlled material removal, fitting, and cleanup tasks that require a pneumatic router rather than a grinder or drill.
• Fixture and template routing: Repeat routing operations using separately selected router guides matched to the cutter and setup.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the difference between this model and the 18,000 RPM version?
  A: The 12L2580-0124RT runs at 23,000 RPM, while the 12L2582-0124RT runs at 18,000 RPM. The higher-speed model is typically selected when the cutter, material, and cut quality requirements call for faster spindle speed.
• Q: What router bit shank size does this tool accept?
  A: This model is listed with a 3/8" shank diameter capacity. Use only compatible cutters and collet components that match the tool and are rated at or above 23,000 RPM.
• Q: Are router guides included?
  A: No. Cleco lists router guides as sold separately. The standard equipment listed for this series is a collet and applicable wrenches.
• Q: What air setup is required for this Dotco inline router?
  A: The manufacturer rates tool performance at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and specifies a minimum 5/16" hose I.D. Use clean, regulated air and confirm compressor capacity before assigning this router to continuous production work.
• Q: Why does rear exhaust matter on a router?
  A: Rear exhaust sends discharge air toward the back of the tool instead of toward the cutter. That can help reduce air blast at the work surface during trimming, template routing, and edge-finishing tasks.
