Router Fixed/Plunge Base Kit, Variable Speed, 1.25-HP Max Torque (DWP611PK)

Tiene buena calidad y aqui no hay este modelo,me comentan en los centros de servicio que no hay refacciones por ser el modelo vendido en U.S.A. Aunque es hecho en México pero no lo uso de forma constante como para acabarmelo . Comentare que tiene buena calidad de materiales he usado DeWalt y es garantia de buen funcionamiento lo recomiendo para jobistas o uso no tan rudo aunque hay routers de colet de media pulgada y generalmente son los mas usados en talleres. Gracias buena compra.

Wanted to add a router to my growing little home woodworking shop for a while, and ended up going for this Dewalt - I was initially a bit hesitant to choose this router over a full-sized one due to it's compact size, but I went and had a look at one in the flesh in Lowe's and ended up buying it - glad I did as i've been very happy with it! This was my first router I was buying, so I did a lot of research before I bought it, read all the reviews, watched youtube videos about it and was still wondering if it was the right one to go for - is it too small, is it going to be powerful enough? Having bought this amazing little machine, I'm wondering why the heck I was worried about any of that - I needn't have worried, it's actually a really nice size and has plenty enough power for my basic edge shaping/hole/channel cutting needs. Pine and softer woods you can go full speed and with a good sharp bit this router will just munch through it like butter - for harder woods you can start on a slower speed and just go at a slower pace over the material - but again, with a good sharp bit no problems at all. I'm only a hobbyist woodworker/diy-er, so my router doesn't get heavy or daily use. All I can say is I'm really glad I went for this compact router instead of a full sized one - this Dewalt is more than enough for my needs, and being compact it's a good price considering you get the fixed and plunge bases included. Don't forget this router only takes 1/4" bits, you can't change the collet like on full sized units. In the box you get the 611 router, and the plunge and fixed bases, and a good meaty wrench for the collet. Oh, and a bag/instruction leaflet. Nothing else. The power cord is wired right into the motor unit. I've uploaded a few unboxing pictures. Things I like about this router: - the way the collet works and you insert a bit with the 'lock' button is nice - like a giant version of how a dremel tool works - the locator slots on the sides of the router make locating it into the right place in the bases super easy - the micro adjustment on the fixed base - 1/64" increments - makes depth adjustment very precise - compact size and relatively light weight - variable speed control so you can cope with different hardness of wood easily - relatively quiet (compared to full size) - plunge base is nice quality, smooth operating and well thought out, solid feeling - handles are nice size and placement - the soft start is good, as you have to take a hand off the router to flip the on/off switch, this makes it easier/safer - good visibility of your work thanks to good sized transparent bases (and the LED lights) - depth adjustment is easy/nice to use - the 1/4" incremented depth-stop on the plunge base is great - very quick/easy to switch between bases, no tools needed - LED's to light the way are better and more useful than I thought they'd be - not a 'must have' but certainly useful in my dimly lit garage - plenty of power, at least for my basic routing needs it's great on MDF, 1x pine no regrets on going compact at all Minor 'cons' list (and these are minor, nothing wrong with the router and nothing big enough to take a star off): - comes with dewalt handbag, I'd have preferred a plastic case for safe storage/keeping my tool-curious kids out - the on/off switch could be bigger or better shaped - it's under a dust cover so it's a bit tricky to feel it without looking at it, also a bit difficult to see it through a dusty cover, could have been colour coded as well. - for dust collection (and there's plenty of dust, as you'd expect), you have to buy two different Dewalt vac adaptors (one for each base as they fit differently). Just put them in the box please. - include the straight edge guide in the kit as well - for the sake of an extra $10 retail tops, you could make this a complete kit with the vac adaptors and edge guide. - make sure you clean the threaded body of the motor unit really well before you use it - mine had vaseline type grease in all the threads, had I not noticed it would have gummed up with sawdust on the first use Overall I'm really pleased with this little router, it seems to be about the best reviewed one on the market currently - from my experiences with it so far, the good reviews are well-deserved. It's perfect for home diy/woodworking. If you get one of these, you're not going to regret it - high quality, well thought out (apart from the on/off switch) - but a solid 5 stars. Good job Dewalt! (but please be more generous with the accessories in the box!)

Top quality router, highly recommend. Very easy to work with, intuitive and easy snaps and clamps, good quality cord, very convenient handles and transparent sub-plate — so good to finally see what I'm doing! And having fixed AND plunge bases in one kit — it's amazing for the money! The weight (I can operate with it single-handed!), size (on fixed base it can be conveniently held with just one palm) and power of this router is amazing — I flipped it over for a DIY router table — and it is very good even with large bits! Variable speed — you'll love it! Many trimming routers don't have it, but I sometimes use large bits and this is a must have for them, as you have to use lower speed to avoid burning. Be aware that fixed base has a standard "D" sub-plate, which hole doesn't accommodate standard 1-3/16" bushings, you'll have to buy a round plate replacement for this. But the round plate is quite small, making the footprint (and stability) is even smaller, so I just use the plunge base, which accommodates the bushings natively. Also be aware that this router doesn't have a vacuum attachment — you have to buy them separately. Both bases have their own attachments, so be prepared to pay, like, 6-8 additional dollars for each, if you are going to use the vacuum. The only con I can think of — the standard "D" sub plate (fixed base) and the replacement round one are quite small and you have to be careful holding the router flat to the table — but plunge base doesn't have this issue, it's much larger and sturdier. Highly recommend this router to anyone!

Great product, but I bought it from Japan where quarter inch bits don't exist in the shops. They have different size bits over here so all bits have to come via international delivery.

I bought this combo kit 7 or 8 years ago and thought I should weigh in with my experience. I purchased the fence to go with it. It has plenty of power - so much that I bought larger rabitting bits with 1/4" shanks which I normally wouldn't use with a trim router. (For instance, the Porter Cable trim router has a tiny goofy collett which really limits the bits you can use.) The fence is very adjustable and reliable. I use it almost exclusively with the plunge base because it adds so much versatility. Really, this is something of a crossover router since it is a little larger than most trim routers and it has more horsepower. I own some Porter-Cable routers, a Sears Craftsman, a larger (1-3/4 hp I think) DeWalt router with plunge base, and a Ryobi trim router. The Ryobi is cheap and good only for small router bits - mostly because it bounces around a bit when it engages the cut. Getting back to the DeWalt, it is a serious little commercial quality router and is probably the best I've ever owned, bar none. Most routers have design quirks which make them irritating to use in one way or another. The DeWalt has none of these quirks. It's just well designed and thoroughly reliable.
