DEWALT DW618 2-1/4 HP Electronic Variable Speed Fixed Base Router
Bought the router kit (DW618PK) so I didn’t have to take my router out of my router table when I needed a router without the table. If I do buy a new motor for it, it will be the last Dewalt I buy. Dewalt was once a good tool but I am now replacing my tools with Bosch tools as they fall apart. Now I am faced with a decision as to whether I want to buy a new motor for $140 so I don’t lose the fence and plunger or just trash the whole thing after using it for a total of less than 15 minutes and buy another Bosch. When I installed a bit using the “spindle lock button”, I didn’t notice that it stayed locked in the shaft after tightening the bit. I had it for two years but since I usually use my table router and I was in an accident that laid me up for 8 months, I only used it twice. Dewalt has let it’s quality go down and it’s prices go up.
