Dotco 12L2582-0124RT Inline Router | 12-25 Series | 0.9 HP | 18,000 RPM | 3/8" Shank Diameter Capacity | Composite Housing | Rear Exhaust

Built for controlled routing, trimming, and edge work on compatible materials, the Dotco 12L2582-0124RT Inline Router combines a 12-25 Series composite housing with a 0.9 HP pneumatic motor for sustained cutting power in shop and production environments. It's 18,000 RPM free speed supports clean routing with properly rated cutters, while the 3/8" shank diameter capacity accommodates larger-shank router bits than 1/4" models. The rear exhaust configuration directs exhaust air away from the cutting area and operator’s forward line of work, helping maintain better control during hand-guided or fixture-assisted routing.

This Dotco inline router is a compact pneumatic option for composite trimming, laminate work, fabrication cleanup, and routing tasks where a straight tool body is preferred. The composite housing helps reduce tool weight while providing a comfortable gripping surface, and the roll valve (a rotary-style throttle control) gives the operator convenient start/stop control during repeated cuts or setup adjustments.

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

FAQs:

• Q: What size router bit shank does the 12L2582-0124RT accept?
  A: This model has a 3/8" shank diameter capacity. Use router bits and collet components that match the tool configuration and are rated for the tool’s 18,000 RPM free speed.
• Q: What air supply does this Dotco router require?
  A: Cleco rates this tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa air pressure and specifies a minimum 5/16" hose I.D. Air consumption was not listed in the available source data, so confirm compressor capacity before publishing that field or sizing a dedicated air system.
• Q: Are router guides included with this model?
  A: No. The tool is supplied with a collet and applicable wrenches, but router guides are sold separately. Select guides based on the cutter shank, template, and required routing setup.
• Q: What does rear exhaust mean on an inline router?
  A: Rear exhaust means the tool directs exhaust air toward the back of the tool instead of out the front. This can help reduce air blast near the cutter and work surface during trimming and routing.
• Q: Can this router be used for composite or laminate trimming?
  A: Yes, when the cutter, speed rating, workholding, and dust-control method match the material being routed. Always use bits rated at or above 18,000 RPM and follow the cutter manufacturer’s safety guidance.
