A fixed base router has a stationary base that is locked in place at a specific depth. It is suitable for tasks that require a consistent depth, such as edge routing or decorative work. In contrast, a plunge router has a spring-loaded base that allows the router bit to plunge down into the material, making it ideal for tasks such as mortising, dadoes, and grooves. The depth of cut on a plunge router can be adjusted to allow for precision cuts at different depths.
