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 pene
