WHY COWRYMAN

Router Planes Built Around the Work

Stainless-Steel Bodies

Stainless-steel bodies reduce the routine rust-prevention work associated with traditional cast-iron bodies.

Two Cutter Systems

Models 003, 040, 022, 035, and 038 use straight cutters. The 042 uses an L-shaped cutter for narrower access.

Revised Through Use

Customer feedback and workshop use guide changes to handles, edges, fasteners, bases, and adjustment details.

Replacement Parts and Support

Replacement cutters are available for supported models, with ongoing help for product and setup questions.

5-Year Warranty

The 5-year warranty covers manufacturing issues and approved functional damage not caused by misuse, subject to the warranty terms.
