DEWALT Router, Fixed Base, 1-3/4-HP, Yellow

The DEWALT DW616 fixed base router, with a 1-3/4 horsepower motor, is perfect for routing and smoothing even the toughest hardwoods. Its micro-fine depth adjustment ring allows for precise depth adjustments in 1/64-inch increments, while the adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and solid-locking. It's important not to hand-hold the router in an upside-down or horizontal position.

Powered by an 11 amp motor, this fixed base router features a micro-fine depth adjustment ring that provides precise, quick depth adjustments in 1/64-inch increments and constant switch and cordset location. An adjustable, tool-free motor cam lock and quick release motor latches provide easy depth change, quick motor pack removal and solid base locking. The router also features a precision-machined die-cast aluminum base, nickel-plated, die-cast aluminum motor housing, detachable cordset, dust-sealed switch, and a clear, Lexan sub-base to enhance durability. Rubber overmolded handles and a low center of gravity design provide best-in-class comfort, balance, and control. The router is part of an interchangeable system consisting of two motor packs and three bases: fixed, plunge, and D-Handle. It includes 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch one-piece, self-releasing collets, two wrenches, and a concentricity gauge to ensure bit to sub-base centering.

The 1-3/4 HP (maximum motor HP), 11.0 Amp motor provides the power to rout smoothly through the toughest hardwoods, and the micro-fine depth adjustment ring allows for precise depth adjustments in 1/64" increments. The adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and solid-locking, while the quick release motor latches allow for fast and easy motor pack removal for bit and base changes. The detachable cordset offers cordset serviceability and the ability to use the same motor pack for all bases.
