Overview
Swapping between a fixed base and a plunge base, this DEWALT router kit shares one motor pack across both setups. It includes two collets, a wrench, a large hole sub base, a vacuum adapter and a soft carry bag.
Two bases in one box let a single motor handle edge work and plunge cuts. The limitation is its weight and the lack of listed variable speed control.
Who it's for
A shop that handles both edge profiles and pocket cuts suits the dual-base kit. Shoppers wanting a light trim router or battery power should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Fixed and plunge bases
- Large hole sub base
- Vacuum adapter included
- Soft carry bag
- Heavy for one-handed use
- Speed control not described
Performance notes
Motor power and rotational speed set how cleanly the bit cuts, and the base choice sets the depth control, fixed or plunge. The vacuum adapter helps remove chips at the source. Collet size must match the bit shank.
