Power and Performance

This kit's DW616M 1-3/4 horsepower, 11 amp motor provides all the power, durability, and versatility required on professional job sites. A dust-sealed switch protects against dust ingestion for longer switch life, and the motor housing is nickel plated for a smooth, long-lasting depth adjustment.

With a micro-fine depth adjustment ring, you can count on accurate adjustment in 1/64-inch increments, while a clear, Lexan sub-base ensures durability, visibility, and the ability to accept standard template guide bushings. The included sub-base concentricity gauge enhances accuracy even further by helping you maintain bit concentricity, and long, eight-slot collets that are self-releasing provide excellent bit retention for dependability.

Comfort and Convenience

A steel motor cam lock and quick-release motor latches make adjustments and base changes tool-free, fast and easy when you need to switch tasks, and a unique, detachable cordset helps keep this tool easy to service. The over-molded, rubber handles and well-balanced body will keep you working comfortably for hours. The unique switch and cordset configuration allows you to keep the switch in your right or left hand, and a flat top further increases to ease of bit and depth changes.

It's also covered by DEWALT's one-year free service contract, where DEWALT will maintain the tool and replace worn parts caused by normal use--for free.
