DEWALT Router Review

The DEWALT Router, Fixed Base, 1-3/4-HP (DW616) and Hiltex® 10100 Tungsten Carbide Router Bits | 15-Piece Set is powered by an 11-amp motor that provides the power to rout smoothly through the toughest hardwoods. The micro-fine depth adjustment ring provides precise depth adjustments in 1/64-inch increments, and the adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and solid-locking.
