User questions & answers

Question:	The edge guide shown in the picture is included
Answer:	The clear base with the flat edge guide is included.
Question:	does it come with bit? If I want to buy bits, is there any particular kind I should look for
Answer:	No, it does not come with any bits, And they require 1/4" bits, other than that, that's it. There is a whole world of selection out there. There is also 1/2" bits; they are used by more heavy duty routers.
Question:	can you use both 1/4 and 1/2 in collets
Answer:	From an experienced woodworker: this router comes with a 0.25” collet (for 0.25” shanks). However, if you have a 0.50” collet (for 0.50” shanks) this will work IF the router bit head is smaller than 1-⅜”, that is your limitation, the base. Also beware that larger bits can bog down the router as it is only 1.25 hp, that larger 618 would be a better choice. Straight bits and round overs are good bit to limit this use. Chamfers and raised panel type bits should be avoided. There’s a lot of terms in these precious answers which are confused and misinformation.
Question:	To anyone who has this router mounted on a router table: would you please share your experience? Thanks
Answer:	Sure. It will work fine for light duty table routing using 1/4” bits. It’s pretty robust for what is basically a trim router. Keep in mind the larger bits are all 1/2” and will not fit this router’s collet. The 1/2” bits are designed for heavy duty work on large routers. In other words, it will work, but only for light duty work.

User questions & answers

Question:	what edge guide fits plunge base
Answer:	The DW6913 Universal Edge Guide with Dust Collection is designed for use with all DEWALT® routers.
Question:	I just ordered dewalt dwp611. would dewalt plunge compact(dnp
Answer:	Yes, I have the same part on mine.
Question:	Has anyone tried to work this on a dwe
Answer:	I have not; however, the diameter of the 6000 appears to be the same as the 611. Id you are able. Bring your 600 to a local hardware/home improvement store that sells Dewalt and see if the base of the 611 fits the 6000. if it does, the DNP612 should work. The body of the 611 just sets down into the plunge base and does not thread, so the threading is not engaged. The base just clamps onto the body of the router.
Question:	Does anyone know if this plunge base will fit the cordless DCW600 compact router
Answer:	Yes, they fit perfectly. I took a chance and bought the DNP612 to use on my DCW600 cordless compact router and, unless there's something I'm not seeing, they are compatible. I wish they'd just tell you that in the specs. Last time I looked, this info wasn't really available.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you set this up for a table router
Answer:	My short answer would be yes. I'm not sure whether there are commercially available tables for it, though. You may have to build one yourself.
Question:	What is the set of drill bits should I buy for this tool. I bought the MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks and are n
Answer:	This is a 1/4" collet router. If you want to use 3/8" (new to me) or 1/2" get a 1/2" router. I've used routers for 45 years. Own a 1/4" and two 1/2" Here's a quick guide: 1/4" router is the most widely useful, can be held in one hand for quick work, your arm doesn't get tired as fast as with a larger router. This one is good for hinge guides and door installs, laminate trimming (laminate trim bits with bearings), round over of the edges of boards or plywood. Makes a neat no slivers edge, get 1/2", 3/4" diameter cove bits (these will make 1/4 and 3/8" from the edge curves) I get these with bearings as well. (If you want less of a curve, use less depth, the curve is not symmetrical--no one will care. This is what I usually grab my 1/4" router for (I've got a Porter Cable 1/4" that's 40 years old. Can't figure out how to take it apart to replace the cord. Rather than a $60 trip to the tool repair I'm thinking of this one, vacuum dust collection is a plus). Shelf dados, usually 1/2 to 3/4" wide, is best done with a more powerful 1/2" router, but you can get by with this with two passes (overlapping) of a 1/2" straight bit. Plunge routing: always use dust collection. Freehand scroll work: 1/8 or 1/4" round bits- I don't do this, others do. If you don't yet have a router, or a specific shop need, get a 1/4". If you think you need one of those $400 router tables: don't. Make your own or buy a jointer. Figuring out how to make a router table will teach you about making jigs (you can make a fence that has finer adjustment than the fanciest most expensive one on the market) Direction of working. There's a correct direction to running a router along the edge of a board. With plywood, pine, fir, spruce, etc.. going the correct way can rip out long splinters. If you first make a very shallow pass in the 'wrong' direction to knock off the edge, then go normal depth in the correct direction, you can avoid this. (I still don't know if I want this router or not. There were 6 opened and reclosed boxes (returns?) at the Home Depot. Why?)
Question:	can it be used for wood doors and frames for hinges
Answer:	Yes, but it is a much better used as router than a door or frame hinge.
Question:	Can I trim my toe nails with it
Answer:	I definitely would use a flush trim bit. A round over or rabbiting bit might be too much. IMO

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this router run on 220-240V power, or only
Answer:	The router requires 110V
Question:	is it made in usa or china
Answer:	No.....Mexico
Question:	What kind of router bits are good for this router ? Or are any compatible
Answer:	This router has both a 1/4" and 1/2" collet so it will accept both size shank bits. I prefer the buy 1/2" shank myself especially in larger bits, they are a little more expensive but seem to run better and last longer. When it comes to brands of router bit Freud is always the first place I shop. I have also had really good success with CMT and Bosch because my local big box store doesn't carry Freud. One thing I will saw about router bits is its always better to buy quality bits they will last for years and produce better results. Amazon has some nice bits sets that come with a lot of common bits that are nice for a person new to the router.
Question:	Can anyone explain the difference between this kit DW618PKB and the DW618PK kit? Are the routers / bases the same
Answer:	They are both the same tools. The only difference is that DW618PK includes a hard plastic case. Whereas, the DW618PKB includes a cloth carrying bag.

Dual LED's and clear sub-base ensure maximum visibility (view larger).

Power and Performance

The DWP611 compact router features a 1-1/4 peak HP motor that delivers significantly more power than competitors' models to help you be as productive as possible. The variable speed control helps you to better manage the tool and determine the speed that is best suited for the application at hand. A low, contoured grip that is close to the work surface also contributes to an excellent level of control--providing both precision and productivity on the job site. The soft starting motor features full time electronic feedback that maintains motor speed through the cut. An adjustment ring enables controlled bit depth changes to within 1/64-inch.

Comfort and Convenience

The fixed base's dual LEDs and clear sub-base ensure maximum visibility in operation. The extended 1/4-inch router collet provides greater bit contact with the bit shaft than traditional routers, allowing you a firm grip on the bit and less vibration. The D-shaped sub-base provides stability and flatness when running edge profiles, and the spindle lock has been designed to greatly improve the ease of bit change by incorporating a large button that can be actuated with the same hand that stabilizes the router.

The router also features two tabs that allow for a quick and simple base release, and a new base/adjustable clamp design so the motor location is maintained through the toughest applications.

Warranty

This DEWALT tool is backed by three-year limited warranty covering any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship (from the date of purchase).

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, i want to buy this dewalt dwp611, but i need to know if it suits me for a cnc router, can you work varis hours? and can i use 3mm cutters
Answer:	I picked up a 1/8" & 1/4" precision collet from thinker tinker, but I have never seen a true 3mm collet. I believe the 1/8" is just a little too big.
Question:	see 2 different opinions on whether or not this can be used with a router table can or can't it be used . Thanks
Answer:	As others have stated, any router can be set-up on a table. I believe Rockler woodworking sells a plate for a small table. The real question is what type of work you plan to do with the router... The DeWalt DW P611 is a great little router. I use one on a CNC router... doing very fine detail work. It does, however, have limitations. Serious woodworkers usually prefer a router with a 1/2" collet. The 1/2" bits are more robust and come in a wide selection of profiles... and with an adapter, 1/4" bits can be used... adding versatility. As for power, if for example, you will be making door panels, the Dewalt would not be a good choice. I have 3 1/2" routers in the 2 1/2 to 3 hp range. Another nice feature to consider is a "plunge" Again, it all depends what you plan to use it for...
Question:	Does know how loud this router runs? Could anyone with a noise dosimeter check how many dB
Answer:	At 17500 RPMs (1.5 on the settings dial) mine measures 78.9 db A weighted at 3 feet.
Question:	Are there any tables besides the Rockler one that this could mount to? I'm just looking to do rabbets and decorative edges on small picture frames etc
Answer:	I just now finished (30 minutes ago) fitting mine to a Skil RAS900 router table. Works like a charm. With multiple passes with shallow cuts, you could probably route most anything. To make it fit, I simply cut four small (2") aluminum brackets (drilled holes for the small bolts & screws, etc) to attach the router to the table's mounting plate. The Skil RAS800 is the same, so it'll fit that table as well. In fact, if you can fabricate your own brackets or drill holes in mounting plates (for tables with that type of mounting), it will probably fit any table.

Answer:	My short answer would be yes. I'm not sure whether there are commercially available tables for it, though. You may have to build one yourself.
Question:	What is the set of drill bits should I buy for this tool. I bought the MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks and are n
Answer:	This is a 1/4" collet router. If you want to use 3/8" (new to me) or 1/2" get a 1/2" router. I've used routers for 45 years. Own a 1/4" and two 1/2" Here's a quick guide: 1/4" router is the most widely useful, can be held in one hand for quick work, your arm doesn't get tired as fast as with a larger router. This one is good for hinge guides and door installs, laminate trimming (laminate trim bits with bearings), round over of the edges of boards or plywood. Makes a neat no slivers edge, get 1/2", 3/4" diameter cove bits (these will make 1/4 and 3/8" from the edge curves) I get these with bearings as well. (If you want less of a curve, use less depth, the curve is not symmetrical--no one will care. This is what I usually grab my 1/4" router for (I've got a Porter Cable 1/4" that's 40 years old. Can't figure out how to take it apart to replace the cord. Rather than a $60 trip to the tool repair I'm thinking of this one, vacuum dust collection is a plus). Shelf dados, usually 1/2 to 3/4" wide, is best done with a more powerful 1/2" router, but you can get by with this with two passes (overlapping) of a 1/2" straight bit. Plunge routing: always use dust collection. Freehand scroll work: 1/8 or 1/4" round bits- I don't do this, others do. If you don't yet have a router, or a specific shop need, get a 1/4". If you think you need one of those $400 router tables: don't. Make your own or buy a jointer. Figuring out how to make a router table will teach you about making jigs (you can make a fence that has finer adjustment than the fanciest most expensive one on the market) Direction of working. There's a correct direction to running a router along the edge of a board. With plywood, pine, fir, spruce, etc.. going the correct way can rip out long splinters. If you first make a very shallow pass in the 'wrong' direction to knock off the edge, then go normal depth in the correct direction, you can avoid this. (I still don't know if I want this router or not. There were 6 opened and reclosed boxes (returns?) at the Home Depot. Why?)
Question:	can it be used for wood doors and frames for hinges
Answer:	Yes, but it is a much better used as router than a door or frame hinge.
Question:	Can I trim my toe nails with it
Answer:	I definitely would use a flush trim bit. A round over or rabbiting bit might be too much. IMO

User questions & answers

Question:	will this guide fit the fixed and plunge base of a Dewalt DW611 PK router 11/4 horse motor
Answer:	Yes, my order came with everything pictured.
Question:	Does anyone know the size of the support rods and their distance centre to centre? thanks. am thinking to buy the bosch1054 instead for dw
Answer:	Yes they both slide left and right. Be aware that the slots that tighten the aluminum fence to your table are also meant to go left and right, not forward and back. This made no sense to me and I cut my own slots in. Other than that great product!
Question:	What is the distance between the rod centers in both, short and long separation setups
Answer:	I have a Bosch 1617 router on my table. I had to fit it on myself. No problem.
Question:	It says it fits all Dewalt routers. Does this include the new 1/4" shaft plunge router
