A More Versatile Router For a More Evolved Craftsman
Though compact like a trim router, this new version of Dewalt’s two-base router kit is both durable and powerful to offer the features you’d expect from a high-performance router without any of the bulk. It features a few ergonomic adjustments rendering the tool more balanced and, as a fortunate consequence, the thing is ideal for one-handed use, too. In effect, the tool is smaller while still offering more power. This, of course, is a really great combination, and because the router includes both a fixed base and a plunge base, Dewalt’s new DWP611PK combination router kit just keeps on giving.
