Amazon.com Product Description
Featuring a 12.0 Amp motor that delivers variable speed performance from 8,000 to 24,000 RPM, the DeWalt DW618PK 2-1/4 HP Router with a fixed base and a plunge base offers all the power and versatility that professionals demand. Soft start provides an extra-smooth finish and helps ensure that this tool even performs well when working with the toughest hardwoods. With a micro-fine depth adjustment ring, you can count on accurate adjustment in 1/64-inch increments, while a clear, Lexan sub-base ensures durability and visibility. The included sub-base concentricity gauge enhances accuracy even further by helping you maintain bit concentricity, and long, eight-slot collets that are self-releasing provide excellent bit retention for dependability. A steel motor cam lock and quick-release motor latches make adjustments and base changes tool-free, fast and easy when you need to switch tasks, and a unique, detachable cordset helps keep this tool easy to service. This router also provides over-molded, rubber handles and a well-balanced body for increased operator comfort and control. The unique switch and cordset configuration allows you to keep the switch in your right or left hand, while a flat top and spindle lock further increase the ease of bit and depth changes. The switch is also dust-sealed for durability. Kit includes motor pack, DW6184 fixed base, DW6182 plunge base, DW6183 large-hole sub-base, 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch collets, wrench, sub-base concentricity gauge, vacuum adapter, and heavy-duty kit box for easy transport and storage. This DeWalt high-performance industrial tool is backed by a limited 3-year warranty.

 Advertized as new---but was not October 30, 2009
arlene e (Oakland, CA United States)
I purchased this kit for and through work, and it arrived with a broken base on the plunge which included a crack through one of the three set screw holes and scratches on the bottom indicating that it had been used before. I wound up simply going to a Dewalt service center to order a replacement base---which is two weeks out. The function of the plunge does not glide as well as a larger plunge Dewalt that I also ownn which all adds up to a huge disapointment. Skip this model---and vendor---if you can!
 Plug in is junk October 29, 2009
T. Allred
I have used Dewalt tools in the shop for 4 years now the routers are of good quality but the plug and plug attachment are just junk. Out of the 6 Dewalt routers I have 5 of the lock in plug attachments do not work any more. Where the plug locks into the router it breaks, also the pins that go into the plug break and come out. I am going to try Makita.

These are nice routers. I love the dust collection on them because the hose goes straight up connected to a boom arm i have and they hose stays out of the way. The plunge mechanism is no the smoothest but the power is just as good as the other comparable units. The dust collection type is enough for me to overlook a few minor flaws.
I have 7 of them and not one has ever broke down and I use them for work in a shop environment. If one breaks on you its a lemon.
CONTACT Amazon not DeWalt if the item is defective when you get it or it breaks down within a week. Amazon will send out a new item quick.

This product arrived on schedule. My first instinct is to always look at packaging to see if it's been opened before. This one had been. A piece of packing tape that sealed the outer cardboard shell was missing as indicated by blemished strip of cardboard. Opened the tool case and found acrylic plates floating around out of their slots, which I don't believe could happen during shipping if they had been in their proper slots. Noticed small dent by power cord receptacle which was caused by something sharp like an awl. Inspected acrylic plates closely and found many scratches. One quick release latch was completely broken off which also couldn't have happened during shipping. After seeing these things I immediately packed it back up and ordered a replacement. This unit was NOT NEW. In addition they expect me to pay for shipping to return the item. We'll see about that! I am very disappointed.
