Description
The Virutex FR129VB Router for Fitting Hinges is a professional-grade hinge routing system designed to accurately machine recesses for concealed, invisible and traditional butt hinges in timber doors and door frames. Built for speed, precision and repeatability, the FR129VB eliminates the need for measuring and marking, allowing professional installers to route 3 or 4 hinges on left or right-hand opening doors with outstanding accuracy.
Unlike conventional hinge routing methods, the FR129VB features an innovative double-depth stop system, enabling both depths required for concealed hinges to be machined in a single operation without changing templates. This significantly reduces installation time while ensuring consistently precise results.
Powered by a robust 1,000W motor with variable electronic speed control and constant speed under load, the FR129VB delivers smooth, clean routing performance across hardwoods, softwoods and engineered timber products. The quick-adjust clamping system securely fixes the router to both doors and frames without damaging finished surfaces, while interchangeable templates allow routing of a wide variety of concealed and traditional hinges.
Designed and manufactured by Virutex in Spain, the FR129VB is trusted by professional door manufacturers, joiners, builders, locksmiths and installation specialists worldwide.
