## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a collet for router bits with a 1/2 inch shank?  We should not need to ask this!**
A: Yes, it does have a 1/2" collet, not sure of the others who posted here, but I too originally thought that DeWalt, the Seller had forgotten to include a 1/2" collet.  I only saw a 1/4" collet.  In fact, I called about it.  It was only when I took a closer look that with this router the 1/4" collet nests inside the 1/2 collet.  It is not immediately apparent, but you can remove the 1/4" collet to reveal the 1/2" collet.  My mistake.

**Q: I want to buy a simple Router table.  I own the DW618, am new to woodwork, but do not know what is compatable.  Can it mount to the Bosch RA1181?**
A: Yes. The router is mounted on a heavy aluminum plate that is attached to the table top. The top then must be secured on the table. I suggest plugging the router into the switch box before putting the plate in place. There are multiple holes in the plate to accept various manufacturers routers. The Dewalt fits securely in one. If I remember correctly, you may need to purchase one or mrs extra screws of the correct length to attach it. The table works beautifully, but the only downside is that height adjustment is awkward (you must reach under the table, pushing the router up with one hand while rotating the adjustment dial. Or reverse the table, use blocks to lift it above the exposed router bit, and adjust as you would without the table being present. Since I clamp the table onto a bench to get it to a comfortable height, I push up and rotate it from below to simplify my work. Since a full rotation of the dial is known (forget if it is 1/8" or not, I am not at home & don't remember) I do the adjustment blindly, using a vernier caliper or wood pieces of known thickness to accomplish this. I know that there are some router/table combinations that allow fine adjustment from above (I believe it is built into the router). This is the only drawback to this system. However, I have used the Dewalt/Bosch combination for some time now with excellent results, even on long heavy boards. The trick is to properly secure the table and move the piece slowly and smoothly against the fence. Remember, when routing, less is more.

**Q: What is the Diameter of the motor itself with no base?**
A: It's 3.5". Technically my micrometer measures 3.497" motor only. Took off the base, turned the unit upside down and measured.

**Q: Hello, please does it can work too with 230V ?**
A: It only works on 120 volts.

This is my go to router for slab flattening. It has ample power and does not show any signs of slowing down or straining to do the work. It has 2 1/4 horsepower, which is more than adequate for most router operations. Dewalt has always been a name I trust and this tool is no exception. It is a real work horse and meets all my needs. Not only that, but I find it to be much quieter than some of the other routers I own. The router comes with both a 1/4" collet and a 1/2" collect. Any bit your might have in your shop with fit in this router. It also comes equipped with the standard router plate and an additional router plate that has a 2" hole that will accommodate larger bits, such a large spoilboard bit. In short, you can't go wrong with this router and it won't break the bank.
