A router for performing finishing operations on a dental model having a housing with a base in which a motor is positioned. A storage compartment mounted on the base includes a pivotal cover. The cover forms a horizontal work platform on which the dental model is supported during the operations. The motor extends into the storage compartment and a tool is secured to the shaft for vertical projection above the work platform through a hole in the cover. Apertures in the cover permit dust to fall down into the storage compartment from which a vacuum extracts the dust. A novel method of routing dental models is provided wherein the dental model is placed on a horizontal work surface and finished using a vertically oriented tool. |
