This router combo pack 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. When using the fixed
base, 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 kit also comes with DeWalt's DW6182
plunge-router base--making it essentially two routers at one price--and DeWalt has thoughtfully
made motor removal and base changing a quick and easy, tool-free operation. The plunge base
features DeWalt's through-the-column dust collection system (which is also used in their popular
DW621 dedicated plunge router). This efficient feature quickly removes the dust, leaving you with
better cut visibility and a cleaner workspace. The plunge action itself is as smooth as you'd want,
and the micro-fine depth adjustment offers precision to 5/128 inch. In addition, there's a built-in,
five-position adjustable turret stop for use in making repeated or stepped plunge cuts. 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
