The DeWalt DW618 2-1/4 HP EVS Fixed Base Router with Soft Start has a powerful motor for routing through tough hardwood at the user's desired speed. It features precise depth adjustments and fast, easy motor pack removal for bit and base changes. The 2-1/4 HP (maximum motor HP), 12.0 amp electronic variable speed motor provides the power to rout smoothly through the toughest hardwoods. Electronic variable speed with full feedback control makes for constant speed under load from 8,000-24,000 rpm and soft start to reduce start-up torque for enhanced control. A micro-fine depth adjustment ring provides precise depth adjustments in 1/64 in. increments and adjusts vertically for a constant switch/cordset location. The adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and solid-locking. Quick release motor latches provide for fast and easy motor pack removal for bit and base changes. The detachable cordset offers cordset serviceability and removes the need for a "shorty" cord motor pack. A spindle lock button allows for single-wrench bit changes. The clear, Lexan sub-base provides enhanced base durability, gives you bit visibility and accepts standard template guide bushings. Rubber over-molded handles and low center of gravity design provide best-in-class comfort, balance and control. The Dust-Sealed Switch protects against dust ingestion for longer switch life. A heavy-duty, precision-machined, die-cast aluminum base and motor housing make for durability and low tool weight. The nickel plated motor housing provides a smooth, long-lasting depth adjustment. Includes: DW618M motor pack, DW6184 fixed base, 1/4 in. and 1/2 in. collets and wrench. Model: DW618.
