DW618B3 2-1/4 Horsepower Three Base Router Kit At a Glance:
-----------------------------------------------------------
* 2-1/4 horsepower, 12.0 Amp motor
* Includes three router bases: fixed, plunge, and D-handle
* Electronic variable speed from 8,000-24,000 RPM
* Easily tackles even the toughest hardwoods
* Three-year limited warranty
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 D-handle base also offers 1/64-inch micro-fine depth
adjustments, but it's complemented with a two-position, rubber
overmolded handle. Combined with a low center of gravity, this
D-handle base provides excellent balance and control as well as
comfort during long routing jobs.
The plunge base features an adjustable five-position turret stop
for use when making repeated plunge cuts. It offers a micro-fine
depth adjustment of 5/128-inch per turn for precise routing in
veneer and inlays. 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 igue. 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 .
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.
