| Heavy-Duty 2-1/4 HP (maximum motor HP) Three Base Router Kit - Dewalt DW618B3 |
The DeWalt DW618B3 router kit includes a powerful 12 Amp motor, fixed base, plunge base and
d-handle base to accommodate all user needs in a wide variety of routing applications. The
DW618B3 provides constant speed under load from 8000-24000 RPM and soft start to rout through
the hardest materials. The fixed base of the DeWalt DW618B3 features a micro-fine depth
adjustment ring that moves in 1/64" increments. Adjustable tool-free motor cam locks provide easy
base changes from fixed to plunge to d-handle. The plunge base features, integral through the
column dust collection, machined brass bushings and case hardened steel guide rods for a smooth
and accurate plunge stroke. The DW618B3 features die-cast aluminum bases, nickel-plated die-cast
aluminum motor housing, detachable cord set, dust sealed switch, and lexan sub-bases enhances
the tool durability.
Once in a while, we come across a tool that just makes us want to shut down the computer and hit
the shop with renewed passion---and this is one of those tools. DeWalt has made such a fine router
to begin with, but to package it with the bases you'd find yourself wanting later is a great move. The
router itself has a super-smooth variable speed 2-1/4 -orsepower motor with a load range of 8,000
to 24,000 rpm and soft-start for virtually no twist. Kudos to DeWalt for giving this model a flat top
and not the scalloped edge we've seen on their models before; this makes bit-changing a much
better experience. For table use, the fixed base can't be beat. For freehand use, the D-handle
offers unparalleled control and comfort. And of course, the plunge base is essential in any
workshop, but we like this one for its integrated in-column dust removal (and it really works). An
adjustable turret is great for repetitive work, and this turret's got five positions. We also like the
placement of the plunge lock, right where you want it. For novice router-users, this is the perfect
purchase; if you've been around the collet a few times, you still can't do better than this.--Kris
