DEWALT DW616K 1 3/4 HP FIXED BASE ROUTER KIT

Amazon.com

This fixed-base router from DeWalt has all the design features to make it a popular choice with woodworkers and professional carpenters. The tool's powerhouse is a smooth-running, 11 amp, 1-3/4-horsepower motor that offers more than enough power to make precise, clean cuts in tough hardwood materials without bogging down. A micro-fine adjustment ring is used to dial in the height setting at 1/64-inch increments, so the motor itself doesn't need to be turned, and as a consequence, the position of the switch and cord doesn't change every time your cut-depth does. This same motor can be used with DeWalt's DW6182 plunge base or their DW6183 D-handle base, and DeWalt has thoughtfully made motor removal and base changing a quick and easy, tool-free operation. Both the motor housing and the base are made of precision-machined aluminum for durability, and the motor housing has nickel plating to ensure smooth depth adjustments. As finishing touches, the toggle switch is sealed against dust penetration, and the cord is fully detachable for use with other DeWalt bases and to protect it in storage. DeWalt's engineers and designers clearly spent a lot of time making sure this router package addressed every need a woodworker could have, and the result is a tool that stands with the best in its price range. This model includes a carrying case. –Brian Trinen
