Tools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW616PK 1-3/4 Horsepower Fixed Base Plunge Router Combo Kit
Customer Review: Best Router In Its Class
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market for a new router after a failed attempt at using RotoZip (Junk: Broke after using the first bit). I gave my Sears router that I had since college to another college kid who lived across the street, so I was looking for the very best router I can find to replace it. After reading the reviews, I settled on DW618PK, but I didn't like its feel, so I exchanged it with this one. This seems smoother than DW618 but it might only be my perception. There's only 1 amp difference (DW618 12A, DW616 11A) between the two motors, and I can't tell the difference in power. Now this thing rocks. I'm getting a free D handle base as a promotion, and with it I have a finger trigger (something you can't normally have with a multi-based router because the handle is separate from the motor) made possible due to removable power cord for this router. I also purchased the edge guide, and the case which some people say is too big is just right because there's a place to keep this edge guide in it with even a clip on the lid to hold the bars. There's also a place to hold both 1/4" and 1/2" router bits, and I also can fit a circular cut jig in the case as well. Now when I need a router, all I need to do is just grab this case, because everything I need is in it (!). Plunge base comes with a vacuum attachment and accepts a 3/4" hose (it also comes with a centering jig for alignment). You'll need an adapter for most shop vac (1 1/2" to 3/4") to interface with this base. Edge guide also has vacuum attachment and for this I didn't need any adapters.
This is a complete system, and for me it was perfect. I'll be using the fixed base for a router table, D handle base to do the edges (with edge guide), and a plunge base to cut holes. Each setup can be used with dust collection system (fixed base on the router table will have vacuum on the fence) which alliviated the mountain of dust that spread everywhere when I was using my old router. Highly recommended.
