DEWALT DW618D Router 2-1/4 HP EVS D-Handle arranque
Amazon.com
Featuring a 12.0 amp motor that delivers variable speed performance from 8,000 to 24,000 RPM, the DeWalt DW618D 2-1/4 HP router with D-handle base offers all the power and versatility that professionals demand. Soft start provides an extra-smooth finish and helps ensure that this tool even performs well when working with the toughest hardwoods. With a micro-fine depth adjustment ring, you can count on accurate adjustment in 1/64-inch increments, while a clear, Lexan sub-base ensures durability and visibility. The included sub-base concentricity gauge enhances accuracy even further by helping you maintain bit concentricity, and long, eight-slot collets that are self-releasing provide excellent bit retention for dependability. A steel motor cam lock and quick-release motor latches make adjustments and base changes tool-free, fast, and easy when you need to switch tasks, and a unique, detachable cordset helps keep this tool easy to service. This router also provides over-molded, rubber handles and a well-balanced body for increased operator comfort and control. The unique switch and cordset configuration allows you to keep the switch in your right or left hand, while a flat top and spindle lock further increase the ease of bit and depth changes. The switch is also dust-sealed for durability.

I am new to woodworking and had never used a router before. Based upon a lot of reading, I learned that three features are very important for making routing easy and safe for first-timers. The D-shaped handle, variable speed motor, and the on/off switch. That being said, I found this router to be perfect.This router has an on/off flip switch on the motor, but you start and control the speed of the motor with the trigger in the D-shaped handle. The point is, I don't have to take my hands off the handles to start the router and I can easily keep a good stable grip. Next, the variable speed trigger is nice as you can work the bit up-to-speed slow and easy. Other routers kick-on full speed and can "jerk" the router somewhat. Now imagine if you have to take your hands of the handle to start it AND it jerks when you start it. Not good. This router doesn't have either of those problems. I found the D-handle grip easy to manage, but people with small hands might find it hard to use. I really like the trigger lock for routing long pieces of wood.Comes with 1/2 and 1/4 collets which is very nice as it will accomodate most any size bit. The router comes with a spindle-lock so you only have to use one wrench to add/remove the collet. I didn't find this difficult to do.Documentation was very good. Clearly written by someone whose primary languange is English, not Chinese.I love this thing!

I started using it the first day upon arrival. The trigger on the D handle offers that extra bit of safety when using with jigs, like my latest focus of dovetails.My only discouraging experience is not getting both a 1/4 and 1/2 chuck in the box. I only got the 1/2 inch. Fortunately I still have both for my other Dewalt router that I use exclusively for the table mount. If I do what would be prudent I would order the missing one so I could have a spare.

I return this thing within the first 20 minutes after I received. Vs dial won’t not turn. Also the dial it to small. Exchange it for the Makita D handle. Much nicer unit

Powerful and easy to adjust (I had a cheap (another brand) router before this one, and it was extremely difficult to adjust the cutting depth). A little on the heavy side for what I've been using it for, though (door hinges and latches), but it does a great job.

If I only had one router, this one would be it, but since I have eight I’ll have to call it my favorite.

SOFT START VARIABLE SPEED, IS THE BEST! EASILY ADJUSTABLE, TAKES HALF AND 1/4'' SHANK BITS!
