Description of DEWALT DW618K 2-1/4 HP Electronic Variable Speed Fixed Base Router with So Start Kit
This fixed-base D-handle router from DeWalt has all the design features to make it a popular choice with woodworkers and professional carpenters for freehand routing. The tool's powerhouse is a smooth-running, 12 amp, 2-1/4-horsepower variable-speed motor with soft start and a spindle lock. It offers more than enough power to make precise, clean cuts in tough hardwood materials without bogging down. A micro-fine adjustment ring is used to dial in the height setting at 1/64-inch increments, so the motor itself doesn't need to be turned, and as a consequence, the position of the switch and cord doesn't change every time your cut-depth does. This same motor can be used with DeWalt's DW6182 plunge base or their DW6184 two-handle fixed base, and DeWalt has thoughtfully made motor removal and base changing a quick and easy, tool-free operation. As finishing touches, the toggle switch on the motor (switched on for operation and overridden by the locking trigger in the D-handle grip) is sealed against dust penetration, and the cord is fully detachable for use with other DeWalt bases and to protect it in storage. DeWalt's engineers and designers clearly spent a lot of time making sure this router package addressed every need a woodworker could have, and the result is a tool that stands with the best in its price range. This model includes a carrying case. --Brian TrinenTools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW618K 2-1/4 HP Electronic Variable Speed Fixed Base Router with So Start Kit
Customer Review: Easy to handle and versatile...
Summary: 5 Stars
The DW618K is great router. I previously owed the DW621K 2hp Plunge router, which I wanted for the power and versatily in woodworking. However, I found it very bulky. THIS NEW ROUTER FROM DEWALT IS COMPACT ENOUGH THAT IT IS EASY TO USE, YET PACKS THE PUNCH YOU NEED FOR BIGGER JOBS. The versality of this machine is wonderful, being able to switch from the fixed base to plunge base very quickly. The heigth adjustment on the fixed base I have found easy and simple to use as well. Overall, great power tool...worth the money!
