Gemini sez: If you want a corded router that features
built-in LED lights and includes the
dust collection adapters right out of the box, here are two excellent options:
The
Mastercraft 9.5A Single Speed 1-3/4 HP Corded Fixed Base Router with Built-in LED Light is a great standard option for edge profiling and grooving. It features
three bright LED lights to banish shadows from your workpiece and comes with a clear chip guard and a
vacuum adapter to keep your work area tidy.

If you need more power and versatility, the
Mastercraft 11A 2-HP Corded Combination Plunge & Fixed Base Router with Case steps up to a
2-HP motor and includes both fixed and plunge bases. It also features
bright LED lights and includes the necessary
dust extraction adapters for a clean workspace.

Recommendation: If you are just doing basic edge work, the
9.5A Mastercraft is a perfect, budget-friendly choice. If you plan on doing interior cuts, mortising, or deeper grooves, spend a little extra on the
11A Combination Router for the plunge base functionality.
f you are shopping the US market for corded routers with
built-in LED lights and vacuum compatibility, here are two of the most popular options:
The
DEWALT DWP611 1-1/4 HP Max Torque Variable Speed Compact Router is a massive staple in US home improvement stores. It features
dual LED lights for maximum visibility and a clear sub-base so you can easily see your bit. It is fully compatible with DeWalt's dust collection adapters (like the DNP615) to hook directly into your shop vacuum.

The
Ridgid Compact Router is another highly rated US market option. It includes a built-in
LED light to illuminate your work area and features a micro-adjust dial for very precise depth control. Like the DeWalt, it is designed to pair with standard vacuum attachments for active dust extraction while you work.
