Product Details
The DeWalt 2-1/4 HP VS fixed base/plunge router combo kit, model DW618PK, features a 12.0 amp electronic variable speed motor that provides power up to 2-1/4 HP, with an adjustable speed range of 8,000 to 24,000 RPM and full feedback control for consistent speed under load, as well as a soft start to reduce start-up torque. The micro-fine depth adjustment ring allows precise depth changes in 1/64" increments and adjusts vertically for a constant switch and cordset location. It includes an adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock for quick and secure depth adjustments and base changes, and an integral through-the-column dust collection system that captures 95% of dust while enhancing bit visibility. The router kit offers quick-release motor latches enabling fast motor pack removal, a detachable cordset for easy serviceability, precision machined brass bushings, and case-hardened steel guide rods to ensure smooth and accurate plunge stroke. Other features include a spindle lock button for single-wrench bit changes, a clear Lexan sub-base that improves durability and bit visibility and accepts standard template guide bushings, rubber overmolded handles combined with a low center of gravity design for superior comfort, balance, and control, and a dust-sealed switch for extended switch life. The heavy-duty, precision machined die-cast aluminum base and motor housing provide durability with low tool weight, complemented by a nickel-plated motor housing for smooth, lasting depth adjustments. The router allows right or left switch and cordset location for user preference, includes a flat top for easy bit and depth changes, self-releasing long eight-slotted collets for enhanced bit retention and to prevent frozen bits, and features a five-position adjustable turret. Warranty terms apply as specified by the manufacturer.
