I mean, kinda? But a lot more basic wood working people already have access to a plunging router compared to a planer. One you can find new for 100 bucks or used for next to nothing, and the other is like 500 for a janky one.
Owning a router is a pretty standard purchase for anyone using power tools for woodworking, and if you don’t have one they’re pretty easy to buy for cheap on Craigslist.
