DEWALT Router Fixed/Plunge Base Kit, Variable Speed, 12-Amp, 2-1/4-HP (DW618PK)

Description

The DW618PK 2-1/4 HP EVS Fixed Base / Plunge Router Combo
Kit w/ Soft Start has a powerful motor for routing through tough hardwood at
the user’s desired speed. DEWALT fixed router features precise depth
adjustments and fast, easy motor pack removal for bit and base changes. The
plunge base integral dust collection provides superior bit visibility.
Featuring a 12 amp variable-speed, soft-start motor, the DEWALT
2-1/4-Inch Fixed-Base/Plunge-Base Router Combo Kit is packed with smart design
features that make routing easy. Depth adjustment and base changes are tool
free, and integrated dust control keeps work spaces clean and improves cut
line visibility.Powerful and Accurate with Variable-Speed Control The
2-1/4-horsepower, 12 amp motor allows the router to cut through the toughest
hardwoods. The router’s electronic variable-speed trigger lets you select from
between 8,000 and 24,000 rpm for specific applications. And because this
system employs full electronic feedback, you can trust the router to provide
constant speed under load. In addition, the motor’s soft start reduces start-
up torque for optimum control.The router’s fixed base features a micro-fine
depth-adjustment ring that provides precise bit adjustments in 1/64-inch
increments. Because the ring–not the motor can–turns to adjust bit depth, a
constant switch/cordset location is maintained when you are using the router
in a table. This minimizes difficulty in turning the unit on and off and keeps
operation consistent.The plunge base features an adjustable five-position
turret stop for use when making repeated plunge cuts. The easy-to-reach
plunge-release lever and switch keep control at your fingertips during
routing.Quick, Secure Base and Bit Changes The clear, LEXAN sub-base offers
optimum bit visibility and base durability, and it accepts standard template-
guide bushings to make application-specific setups easy. Also, a sub-base
concentricity gauge is included. If you insert this into the collet prior to
bit installation, it will help you center the sub-base relative to bit
location when making your cut line off of the side of the base.Moreover, the
sub-base and other included bases are designed to make both base and bit
changes easy. Quick-release motor latches allow for fast and easy motor-pack
removal, while a spindle-lock button allows for single-wrench bit changes. The
fixed base also offers a flat top, so the router can be set upside down for
easy bit and depth changes. Additionally, long, self-releasing, eight-slotted
collets provide improved bit retention and prevent bits from jamming.Built for
Consistency and Durability Routing applications produce a lot of dust, which
can result in extra wear and tear on electronic parts. That’s why this system
features a dust-sealed switch that protects against dust ingestion for longer
tool life. Other components that contribute to the tool’s overall consistency
and durability include heavy-duty metal housings, precision-machined brass
bushings, and case-hardened steel guide rods on the plunge base.Comfortable
Operation with Integrated Dust Control Each base features comfortable rubber
over-molded handles and a low center of gravity for improved balance and
control and reduced user fatigue. The base also has a patented through-the-
column dust-collection system. This allows a vacuum to be attached to the
router without blocking your line of sight.In addition, this router kit offers
you the ability to work with the switch and cordset on either your left or
right side. Also contributing to this setup’s usability is a detachable
cordset that can be easily serviced. A shorty cord motor pack is not required
if you opt to place the motor can in a D-Handle base.The DW618PK DEWALT
2-1/4-Inch EVS Fixed Base/ Plunge Base Router Combo Kit with Soft Start is
backed by a three-year limited warranty.What’s in the Box DW618M motor pack,
