| 2-1/4 HP (maximum motor HP) EVS Fixed Base Router with Soft Start - Dewalt DW618 |
The DeWalt DW618 is a 12 Amps, electronic variable speed router which provides constant speed
under load from 8000-24000 RPM and soft start to rout smoothly through the hardest of materials.
Featuring the micro-fine depth adjustment ring which provides precise, quick depth adjustments in
1/64" increments and constant switch and cord set location. An adjustable, tool-free motor cam lock
and quick release motor latches provide easy depth change, quick motor pack removal and solid
base locking. Precision-machined die-cast aluminum base, nickel-plated, die-cast aluminum motor
housing, detachable cord se, dust-sealed switch and a clear, Lexan sub-base provide enhanced
durability. Rubber over molded handles and low center of gravity design provide best-in-class
comfort, balance and control. Spindle lock allows for one wrench bit changing.
This fixed-base router from DeWalt has all the design features to make it a popular choice with
woodworkers and professional carpenters. 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 DW6183 D-handle base, and DeWalt has thoughtfully made motor removal and base
changing a quick and easy, tool-free operation. As finishing touches, the toggle switch 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. --Brian Trinen
