Will a router motor have permanent magnets?

AI Thread Summary
A typical 2HP router is unlikely to contain permanent magnets, as it likely operates using an induction motor or an AC/DC motor with field windings. Induction motors do not utilize permanent magnets, which supports the assertion. The discussion centers on the mechanics of router motors, emphasizing the use of electromagnets instead. The consensus leans towards the absence of permanent magnets in such routers. Understanding the motor type is crucial for accurate assessments of router design.

Settle a bet:

A reasonable sized (believe it is 2HP) router will not have any permanent magnets inside it upon tear-down. Instead, it uses an electromagnet.

Correct?

It's likely to be an induction motor (obvs no magnets) or an AC/DC motor with a field winding. (IMO)
