This really sounds stupid because I’ve seen a router, but let’s get into the basics.
What is a router ?

Because nobody has answered with the other versions of a router, allow me.
A router (pronounced ROW-ter, like an argument, not as in rowing a boat) is a woodworking tool that digs channels, rebates and moulds on wood. It can be a hand tool (old) or a power tool (modern). The hand tool is primarily a chisel held in a support that is scraped against the wood to make grooves and rebates. The power tool uses a rotating bit that can trim, follow a pattern, groove and rebate or put a moulding on an edge. It is an essential tool for any cabinet maker or kitchen fitter, and very useful for joiners or carpenters too.

Depends if you speak actual English or some bastardised version. 😉
/j but rabbet is the US English version and everyone else calls it a rebate.
