Overview
The DEWALT DW616PK is a corded fixed-base router with a 1.75 horsepower motor, running on 120 volts at 11 amps, and weighing 6 pounds for one-handed guiding.
The DW616PK pairs DeWalt's DW616 router motor with a fixed base, aimed at edge profiles and template routing rather than plunge cuts. At 6 pounds it stays light enough to guide along an edge or template with one hand.
- 1.75 horsepower motor
- 120V, 11 amp draw
- Fixed base router
- Weighs 6 pounds
Who it's for
Woodworkers doing edge profiles, dado cuts or template routing who want corded power rather than a battery-limited tool will get the most from this setup. It is not built for stopped cuts or mortises, which need a plunge base.
Pros and cons
- 1.75 horsepower motor
- Corded for continuous power
- 6 pounds is manageable for one-handed guiding
- Fixed base only, no plunge capability
- Corded, so tethered to an outlet
Performance notes
11 amps at 120 volts delivers the 1.75 horsepower rating, enough for common straight and profile bits without bogging down in hardwoods at moderate feed rates.
