Customer Reviews
When I bought my DeWalt DWP611PK router (which I love), I didn't order any of the accessories for it.
But, after such positive experiences with the router itself, I decided to give the accessories a shot as well.
DeWalt offers four accessories for the DWP611PK ... edge guides for both the fixed base and plunge base, as well as dust collection adapters for both.
I haven't had enough opportunity to use the edge guides (DNP618 for the fixed base, DW6913 for the plunge base) to give them a fair review, but I have had enough use of the dust collection accessories to comment on them.
I have never been very impressed with dust collection accessories for hand-held routers ... dust collection attachments for my other routers were clumsy to use, obstructed the view of the work surface, required tools to attach/detach, and generally resulted in quite a bit of dust and debris in the air and around the work area.
By contract, these both do a superb job. They are easy to attach/detach (using easy to manage thumb screws), take standard 1.25" hoses, and are clear plastic so they don't obstruct your view. And they do a terrific job of removing debris from the surface you are routing without cluttering the work area.
I did a bunch of template routing last week (routing tracks for tambours on some cabinets I am building for holiday gifts) with the plunge base. The DNP616 fully encloses the area around the bit inside the plunge base, and despite plowing through a bunch of hard maple, no dust made it to the bench and the work surface remained clear.
I had a similar experience with the DNP615 in the fixed base routing rabbets inside a door frame. The dust collection attachment essentially turns the router base into a closed chamber so there is virtually no place for dust to escape.
Gord Graff did an excellent review of the DeWalt DWP611PK (see: [...] )... suggest you check out Gord's review for more info on the router itself.
the title says it all. this covers the only open part of the router, the part you would normally look into to see what you're doing. The clear sub base is great for the router, and even though this is clear, the thick plastic distorts what you are seeing. Still, it's worth the 7 bucks for when you'll use it for making dados with an edge guide. What sucks though is that if you're routing the end of a piece of wood for round overs and what not, most of the dust goes under the router, making this thing only being able to capture 20 percent of the dust. To be fair, I don't know of any built in dust collectors that would help with this. Bottom line, it's definitely worth the 7 bucks. And if you own the plunge base DEFINITELY get the plunge dust collection adapter, it doesn't impede your vision hardly at all, and it collects almost all of the dust that would normally be flying into the air.
