| Heavy-Duty 2-1/4 HP (maximum motor HP) EVS D-Handle Router with Soft Start - DW618D |
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 a
finishing touch, 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
