Product Detail
The DeWalt DW616PK plunge router combo kit is a powerhouse for woodworking enthusiasts. Inside the kit, you'll find the DW616M motor pack, the DW6184 fixed base, the DW6182 plunge base, 1/4 - inch and 1/2 - inch collets, two wrenches, a sub - base concentricity gauge, a vacuum adaptor, and a heavy - duty kitbox. This router boasts a 1 - 3/4 HP (maximum motor HP) and 11.0 Amp motor. It has the strength to smoothly rout through the toughest hardwoods. The micro - fine depth adjustment ring allows for precise depth adjustments in 1/64 - inch increments. It also adjusts vertically to keep the switch and cordset in a consistent position. With an adjustable, tool - free steel motor cam lock, you can quickly and securely change the depth and bases. The quick - release motor latches make it a breeze to remove the motor pack for bit and base changes. The integral, through - the - column dust collection system captures 95% of the dust, giving you great bit visibility. The detachable cordset not only makes servicing easy but also lets you use the same motor pack with all bases. The included sub - base concentricity gauge ensures bit concentricity for top - notch accuracy. Precision - machined brass bushings and case - hardened steel guide rods provide a smooth and accurate plunge stroke. The clear, LEXAN sub - base is durable, offers good bit visibility, and can accept standard template guide bushings. The rubber overmolded handles and low - center - of - gravity design give you excellent comfort, balance, and control during operation.
Using the DeWalt DW616PK plunge router combo kit is easy. First, choose the right base (fixed or plunge) depending on your project. Then, install the bit you need by removing the motor pack using the quick - release latches. Use the wrenches to secure the bit in place. Adjust the depth using the micro - fine depth adjustment ring. You can make very precise adjustments in 1/64 - inch increments. When you're ready to start routing, turn on the router and let it reach full speed before starting to cut through the wood. As you work, the dust collection system will capture most of the dust, but it's a good idea to connect a vacuum cleaner to the vacuum adaptor for even better results. Remember to always wear safety goggles and ear protection. When it comes to maintenance, keep the router clean. After each use, wipe it down to remove any dust or debris. Check the brass bushings and guide rods regularly for signs of wear. If the cordset gets damaged, you can easily detach it and replace it. The sub - base concentricity gauge helps keep the bit accurate, so use it from time to time to ensure your cuts are precise. Store the router in the heavy - duty kitbox when not in use to protect it from damage.
