User questions & answers

Question:	can you set this up for a table router
Answer:	My short answer would be yes. I'm not sure whether there are commercially available tables for it, though. You may have to build one yourself.
Question:	What is the set of drill bits should I buy for this tool. I bought the MLCS 8377 15-Piece Router Bit Set with Carbide-Tipped 1/2-Inch Shanks and are n
Answer:	This is a 1/4" collet router. If you want to use 3/8" (new to me) or 1/2" get a 1/2" router. I've used routers for 45 years. Own a 1/4" and two 1/2" Here's a quick guide: 1/4" router is the most widely useful, can be held in one hand for quick work, your arm doesn't get tired as fast as with a larger router. This one is good for hinge guides and door installs, laminate trimming (laminate trim bits with bearings), round over of the edges of boards or plywood. Makes a neat no slivers edge, get 1/2", 3/4" diameter cove bits (these will make 1/4 and 3/8" from the edge curves) I get these with bearings as well. (If you want less of a curve, use less depth, the curve is not symmetrical--no one will care. This is what I usually grab my 1/4" router for (I've got a Porter Cable 1/4" that's 40 years old. Can't figure out how to take it apart to replace the cord. Rather than a $60 trip to the tool repair I'm thinking of this one, vacuum dust collection is a plus). Shelf dados, usually 1/2 to 3/4" wide, is best done with a more powerful 1/2" router, but you can get by with this with two passes (overlapping) of a 1/2" straight bit. Plunge routing: always use dust collection. Freehand scroll work: 1/8 or 1/4" round bits- I don't do this, others do. If you don't yet have a router, or a specific shop need, get a 1/4". If you think you need one of those $400 router tables: don't. Make your own or buy a jointer. Figuring out how to make a router table will teach you about making jigs (you can make a fence that has finer adjustment than the fanciest most expensive one on the market) Direction of working. There's a correct direction to running a router along the edge of a board. With plywood, pine, fir, spruce, etc.. going the correct way can rip out long splinters. If you first make a very shallow pass in the 'wrong' direction to knock off the edge, then go normal depth in the correct direction, you can avoid this. (I still don't know if I want this router or not. There were 6 opened and reclosed boxes (returns?) at the Home Depot. Why?)
Question:	can it be used for wood doors and frames for hinges
Answer:	Yes, but it is a much better used as router than a door or frame hinge.
Question:	Can I trim my toe nails with it
Answer:	I definitely would use a flush trim bit. A round over or rabbiting bit might be too much. IMO

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, i want to buy this dewalt dwp611, but i need to know if it suits me for a cnc router, can you work varis hours? and can i use 3mm cutters
Answer:	I picked up a 1/8" & 1/4" precision collet from thinker tinker, but I have never seen a true 3mm collet. I believe the 1/8" is just a little too big.
Question:	see 2 different opinions on whether or not this can be used with a router table can or can't it be used . Thanks
Answer:	As others have stated, any router can be set-up on a table. I believe Rockler woodworking sells a plate for a small table. The real question is what type of work you plan to do with the router... The DeWalt DW P611 is a great little router. I use one on a CNC router... doing very fine detail work. It does, however, have limitations. Serious woodworkers usually prefer a router with a 1/2" collet. The 1/2" bits are more robust and come in a wide selection of profiles... and with an adapter, 1/4" bits can be used... adding versatility. As for power, if for example, you will be making door panels, the Dewalt would not be a good choice. I have 3 1/2" routers in the 2 1/2 to 3 hp range. Another nice feature to consider is a "plunge" Again, it all depends what you plan to use it for...
Question:	Does know how loud this router runs? Could anyone with a noise dosimeter check how many dB
Answer:	At 17500 RPMs (1.5 on the settings dial) mine measures 78.9 db A weighted at 3 feet.
Question:	Are there any tables besides the Rockler one that this could mount to? I'm just looking to do rabbets and decorative edges on small picture frames etc
Answer:	I just now finished (30 minutes ago) fitting mine to a Skil RAS900 router table. Works like a charm. With multiple passes with shallow cuts, you could probably route most anything. To make it fit, I simply cut four small (2") aluminum brackets (drilled holes for the small bolts & screws, etc) to attach the router to the table's mounting plate. The Skil RAS800 is the same, so it'll fit that table as well. In fact, if you can fabricate your own brackets or drill holes in mounting plates (for tables with that type of mounting), it will probably fit any table.

User questions & answers

Question:	where is it made
Answer:	The best that I can answer is that it was assembled in Mexico according to the labeling on the router. No indication as to where te components were made.
Question:	you can have with bulb voltage
Answer:	Always check the data plate for the correct operating voltage required to run the tool. Never run a tool that is placarded as 115 VAC on a 200 to 220 VAC source. Vice a Versa, a tool that is placarded for 220 VAC will not work on a 115 VAC source. So, any "bulbs" would have to match the input voltage. Check with a hardware store or tool repair location.
Question:	what size bit fits this router
Answer:	1/4" shank. Maximum bit diameter 0f 1 3/8". With a maximum bit diameter of 1 3/8" don't attempt to make heavy cuts as that could tend to over load the motor. Take light cuts and increase depth or horizontal cuts incrementally as long as they don't affect router speed or loading.
Question:	Does anyone have a correction for bits working out of the collet, towards the work, when cutting with the side of a straight bit
Answer:	I wonder if you had bottomed out the bit in tne collet. Insert the bit, then pull it back out by a small distance and tighten the collet. Bits bottomed out have a habit of coming loose.

User questions & answers

Question:	works with 220V
Answer:	The little router is designed for wood. For your aluminum application, there might be more appropriate tools -- I'm not sure. I would expect thick smears of aluminum building up on the cutting edges if you use this router on aluminum.
Question:	Does it work with 220v power
Answer:	This is not a regular router. it is designed for laminate trimming for counters. While it will accept router bits and you can install it on a router table it will only take 1/4" shaft bits. It is high speed but not high power. There are better models for regular routing. Ridgid R2200 Ryobi R163GK
Question:	Does it come with a 1/4 dado bit
Answer:	Of course you can as long as you can find the right size router bit with the correct shank. You are limited to the depth(edge of stock) of this router but biscuits tend to be shallow cut anyway. 1/4" shank...but make sure it's for biscuits because 1/32" makes a difference
Question:	is there a case
Answer:	Hi. It is a Vihuela, which is a traditional 5 string Mariachi rythm instrument. I do not think they are made in 6 string nor as a fretless, but I am no expert. The website of Mariachi instrument specialist H. Jimenez would certainly provide more accurate information. Hope that helps.

Question:	Will this router cut through aluminum using only the tools that come with the router or will I need to buy something else
Answer:	It's a laminate trimmer that doesn't. One with any router bits. It may cut through thin aluminum but you'd need to get bits.
