Description of DEWALT DW618 2-1/4 HP Electronic Variable-Speed Fixed-Base Router
Featuring a 12.0-amp motor that delivers variable speed performance from 8,000 to 24,000 RPM, the DeWalt DW618 2-1/4-HP fixed-base router offers all the power and versatility that professionals demand. Soft start provides an extra-smooth finish and helps ensure that this tool even performs well when working with the toughest hardwoods. With a micro-fine depth adjustment ring, you can count on accurate adjustment in 1/64-inch increments, while a clear, Lexan sub-base ensures durability and visibility. The included sub-base concentricity gauge enhances accuracy even further by helping you maintain bit concentricity, and long, eight-slot collets that are self-releasing provide excellent bit retention for dependability. A steel motor cam lock and quick-release motor latches make adjustments and base changes tool-free, fast, and easy when you need to switch tasks, and a unique, detachable cordset helps keep this tool easy to service. This router also provides over-molded, rubber handles and a well-balanced body for increased operator comfort and control. The unique switch and cordset configuration allows you to keep the switch in your right or left hand, while a flat top and spindle lock further increase the ease of bit and depth changes. The switch is also dust-sealed for durability. Kit includes motor pack, DW6184 fixed base, 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch collets, two wrenches, sub-base concentricity gauge, vacuum adaptor, and heavy-duty kit box for easy transport and storage.Tools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW618 2-1/4 HP Electronic Variable-Speed Fixed-Base Router
Customer Review: Great Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the DW618PK with the d handle, plunge base, and fixed base. I use it freehanded and also mounted in a Rockler table. Most of my use is with Cope/Stick bits. I have not had any problems with it since purchasing over 2 years ago. I route on average about 200 feet of cope/stick parts per/mnth. So I am not an industrial user.
For those of you with negative reviews, can you recommend a better product?
