Excessive Noise – troubleshooting guide

Note: This is not a valid reason for return. Excessive noise can often be resolved by following these steps:

1. Is the Router Bit dull? 

  • A dull or worn router bit can struggle to cut through materials, resulting in increased noise. 
  • Inspect the bit for sharpness, chips or wear, and replace it if necessary. 


2. Are you using the right speed setting for your task? 

  • Ensure the Trim Router’s speed setting matches the material and type of cut. 
  • Using too high a speed for certain materials can generate excessive noise and reduce cut quality. 


3. Is the Trim Router’s base assembled correctly? 

  • Check that the base is attached securely to the motor housing. 
  • Loose or improperly tightened components can cause rattling or vibration noises. 
  • Tighten all screws and bolts to ensure a stable assembly. 


4. Are you cutting dense material? 

  • Hardwoods and other dense materials naturally produce more noise during routing. 
  • Always use ear protection when working with noise-making materials.
