The DEWALT DW616PK is a two-base router kit built around an 11-amp, 1-3/4 HP motor pack that swaps between a fixed base and a plunge base. The plunge base adds micro-fine depth adjustment of 5/128 inch per turn and a five-position turret stop for stepped or repeated cuts, while the fixed base suits table mounting and everyday edge work. The switch and cordset can sit on either side, and the self-releasing eight-slot collet is designed to stop bits from freezing. It suits woodworkers who want one motor for both freehand plunging and table routing, and it competes with other mid-size two-base kits on depth precision and comfort rather than raw power.

Owners of DEWALT's mid-size two-base router kits generally praise the smooth plunge action, the fine depth adjustment and the comfortable handles. Complaints tend to center on the motor being worked hard by big bits and on the extra handling when swapping bases.
The DEWALT DW616PK is a router combo kit with a fixed base and a plunge base that share one motor pack. The 1-3/4 hp (maximum motor hp), 11 amp motor is made to rout smoothly through hardwoods. The motor pack comes out quickly for bit and base changes.
The base and motor housing are precision-machined die-cast aluminum for durability and low tool weight. The motor housing is nickel plated for smooth depth adjustment. Rubber overmolded handles and a low center of gravity are designed for comfort, balance and control.
The plunge base has micro-fine depth adjustment of 5/128" per turn, for routing veneer and inlays. A five-position adjustable turret stop helps with stepped or repeated plunge cuts. The plunge base has integral dust collection for better bit visibility. The switch and cordset can be placed on the right or left, and the switch is sealed against dust.
