Compact DEWALT Router for DIY Enthusiasts

The DEWALT DW616 fixed base router, powered by a 1-3/4 horsepower, 11 amp motor, provides the power to smoothly rout even the most demanding hardwoods. Featuring a micro-fine depth adjustment ring, this router allows for precise depth adjustments in 1/64-inch increments, ensuring accurate and consistent results. The adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and secure.

Designed for enhanced durability, the router's precision-machined die-cast aluminum base and nickel-plated, die-cast aluminum motor housing provide a sturdy and reliable platform. The clear, Lexan sub-base and dust-sealed switch further contribute to the router's longevity. Equipped with rubber overmolded handles and a low center of gravity design, the DW616 offers best-in-class comfort, balance, and control, reducing user fatigue during extended use.

This fixed base router is part of an interchangeable router system, which includes two motor packs and three bases: fixed, plunge, and D-Handle. The included 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch one-piece, self-releasing collets, two wrenches, and a concentricity gauge ensure accurate bit to sub-base centering for optimal performance.

The micro-fine depth adjustment ring on the DW616 provides precise depth adjustments in 1/64-inch increments, allowing users to make fine-tuned changes with ease. The adjustable design of the ring also maintains a constant switch and cordset location, enhancing the overall user experience.

Ease of use is further emphasized with the adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock, which enables quick and solid-locking depth adjustments and base changes. Additionally, the quick release motor latches allow for fast and effortless motor pack removal, facilitating bit and base changes.

The detachable cordset offers the convenience of cordset serviceability, enabling users to utilize the same motor pack with different bases as part of the interchangeable router system. This feature promotes versatility and efficiency, allowing users to adapt the router to their specific project needs.

It is important to note that the DEWALT DW616 fixed base router should not be hand-held in an upside-down or horizontal position, as this could compromise the safety and performance of the tool. Users should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations and safety guidelines when operating the router.
