2-1/4 HP Fixed Base/ Plunge Router Combo Kit with Soft Start - DEWALT

2-1/4 HP (maximum motor HP), 12.0 Amp electronic variable speed motor provides the power to rout smoothly through the toughest hardwoods. Electronic variable speed with full feedback control for constant speed under load from 8,000-24,000 rpm and soft start to reduce start-up torque for enhanced control. Micro-fine depth adjustment ring provides precise depth adjustments in 1/64" increments and adjusts vertically for a constant switch/cordset location. Adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock makes depth adjustment and base changes quick and solid-locking. Integral, through-the-column dust collection collects 95% of the dust and provides superior bit visibility. Quick release motor latches for fast and easy motor pack removal for bit and base changes. Detachable cordset offers cordset serviceability and removes the need for a "shorty" cord motor pack. Sub-base concentricity gauge included ensuring bit concentricity for best-in-class accuracy. Precision machined brass bushings and case-hardened steel guide rods provide a smooth and accurate plunge stroke. Spindle lock button allows for single-wrench bit changes. Clear, LEXAN sub-base provides enhanced base durability, bit visibility, and accepts standard template guide bushings. Rubber over molded handles and low center of gravity design provide best-in-class comfort, balance, and control. Dust-Sealed Switch protects against dust ingestion for longer switch life. Heavy-duty, precision machined, die-cast aluminum base and motor housing for durability and low tool weight. Nickel plated motor housing for a smooth, long-lasting depth adjustment. Right or left switch and cordset location provides the ability to have the switch in your right or left hand. Flattop for easy bit and depth changes. Self-releasing, long, eight slotted collets for better bit retention and elimination of frozen bits. Five position, adjustable turret stop assists in stepped or repeated plunge cuts. Micro-fine depth adjustment on plunge base 5/128" per turn for precise routing in veneer and inlays. Easy to reach plunge lever and switch for superior control while routing.
