The DeWalt heavy-duty plunge base features an adjustable, tool-free steel motor cam lock for quick and solid-locking depth adjustment and base changes. An integral through-the-column dust collection collects 95-percent of dust and provides superior bit visibility. Made with precision machined brass bushings with case-hardened steel guide rods, the base provides a smooth and accurate plunge stroke. A clear, LEXAN sub-base offers enhanced base durability, bit visibility, and accepts standard template guide bushings. Rubber overmolded handles, a low center-of-gravity design, and an easy to reach plunge lever give the user balance, comfort and control. With five position, the adjustable turret stop assists in stepped or repeated plunge cuts. The micro-fine depth adjustment on the plunge base adjusts 5/128-inch per turn for precise routing in veneer and inlays. Designed for DeWalt routers No. DW616 and DW618.

Box was crunched. No internal packaging, product just dumped in the box. The clear plastic covered in fingerprints. Pieces just loose in the box. No documentation (No instructions, warranty card, etc.). Product shrink wrapped to hide the fact that this was a refurbished/return and not a new product as listed and paid for.

I don’t have a lot of router experience. This is my first plunge base. The user doc assumes one would know how to use all the features, so it’s mostly useless for a newbie. Once I figured out some of the settings, it’s pretty easy.

Users find that the router body can be a very snug fit when inserting into the plunge base. Apply a film of paste wax inside the base housing and on the router motor exterior and it should slide into place with minimal force.

Los materiales de aleación metálica de la base para la herramienta de enrutador, son adecuados con la calidad de la marca DWALT, los materiales plásticos también son cómodos al tacto y sujeción, maniobrabilidad buena, así como también el accionar de la base en inmersión y desinmersión, las graduaciones de los niveles indicados de ajuste de profundidad están un tanto desfasados con las marcas indicadas, se tiene que calibrar o no usarlos, una opción es utilizar una marca personal. Como recomendaciones al fabricante esta lo del instructivo, sin embargo quien tiene la herrameinta dewalt 618 y 616 para esta base y la compro nueva, se tiene el manual de esta base y de las otras, en el caso de haber sido adquirida sin dicho manual, podría ser amable del promovedor que lo proporcione, por mi parte es algo que considero gastadera de papel que no viene al caso y me agrada que no traiga manual ya que como indico viene en la herramienta principal, pero ese es mi punto de vista. en otro caso, leo que comentan que viene usada, en la mayoría de los casos se trata del rose de las agarraderas con el interior de la caja de cartón y que este último se desgasta por el movimiento del paquete e impregna la agarradera haciendo ver como si fuera madera, pero es el polvo del cartón OJO, por lo demás recomiendo, como he leído algunos comentarios, que se engrase con cera, aceite o algún producto para ello, solo un poco los postes del sistema de inmersión y un poco al interior de la carcasa de esta base , así como también a la herramienta a deslizar en el interior de la base, esto facilita el ajuste. Agradezco la oportunidad de poder hacer estas menciones y DISFRUTEN SU HERRAMIENTA Saludos y Gracias.

As of 2019-04-10, the DW6182 still arrives loose in the box, along with a black vacuum fitting and no instructions. (BTW, those aren't instructions on the box and they are easily buried under shipping labels.) The instructions that come with the router also cover the plunge base but, if you no longer have them:1) Remove the router motor from its current base and take off the height-adjustment ring. The latter is actually part of the base.2) If the router motor won't quite fit into the plunge base collar, pry open the slot spanned by the black "Locking Lever" buckle. You may need to loosen the Locking Lever nut first. I used a small crowbar between the screw housings of the Locking Lever. A crowbar is thicker, wider and has duller edges than a screwdriver, so it's less apt to mar the screw housings.3) Turn the motor so that its flat side (opposite the switch side) faces the thick black pillar. I had to turn mine slightly more to one side so a screw housing on the motor would clear the "Scale" pillar.4) The motor should slide all the way down until it rests evenly on two ridges around the bottom perimeter of the collar.5) From your other router base, detach the power cord that goes to the wall outlet. Attach it directly to the router motor while using the plunge base.6) Adjust the Locking Lever nut if the lever doesn't clamp the motor firmly.7) Use the centering tool that came with the router to align the base with the motor.So far, the base is working perfectly. The flat side on the bottom (instead of a full circle) is especially helpful to me. Ironically, I'm using it to build a stand for my new CNC router, which could have finished this job in about 10 minutes.

This turned my router into a plunge router, which was exactly what I needed. I can still use it on my router table and as a hand-held router, so now I have an all-around router!

Got this for my 2 1/4 :-P dealt router. Works great. Smooth plunge operation. Sturdy built. Edge guide works with it. Base is circular but has one flat side about 3 inches in length. Great for running along a clamp.

Love the plunge base, works like a charm... easy to set and holds just where one wants to. Even can set to hundredths of an inch! The only complaint I have is the packaging, just tossed into a box with absolutely no packing, rattling around with the two additional parts for dust. The other thing I have an issue is, no instruction sheet (which I guess DeWalt figures you don't need instructions if you know how to run a router?), and no registration (is it good for 90 days, 1 year?).SO, the upshot is that while I love the base, I'm a bit underwhelmed with the packaging and lack of information.
