About this deal

Now the link that Mike shared does specify that it works on both but as you said, on Inventables, there are 2 models. Upgrading the X-Carve to the DeWalt 611 is breeze and only takes about 10 minutes to accomplish. In fact, it took me more time to read the directions than to actually do the upgrade. The compression springs and wing screws are available through servicenet.dewalt.com. They do not come with the plunge base but make nice original equipment additions for adding shop made or aftermarket edge guides. Use two of each of the springs and screws in the plunge base and place the spring under the wing screw to hold tension to prevent it from loosening when not in use. The plunge base actually does include one of these wing screws for setting the depth guide only. It does not come with the spring under it, but the plunge base depth adjust on the larger DW618 router does have the spring so I also added a spring to my DWP611 plunge depth set wing screw as well. This same screw as described above is what fits the base for the edge guides (for both the DWP611 plunge, and the DW618 fixed and plunge bases). Remove the two eccentric nuts holding the V-Wheels on the right side of the Z-Axis carriage (the two actually connect to the spindle mount). Now remove the two cap head screws that hold the mount to the ACME rod. You can now remove the mount. Finally, remove the other two V-Wheels.

To remedy this problem, I used some velcro wire-wrap and simply wrapped the 611’s power cord around the drag chain ever four to five inches. That seems to work out fine.

The Dewalt DWP611 router is a fantastic tool. It’s easy to set up, easy to adjust, and easy to use. Like most Dewalt products, it’s priced near the top of the category, but it’s not as prohibitively expensive as some other Dewalt products. One of the most obvious differences between these two routers is their depth adjustment system. The Dewalt makes use of a “ring” system, wherein you twist a large ring that’s wrapped around the body of the router. The Makita, on the other hand, has a knob that you twist to fine-tune your depth adjustment. InclusionsAnd i doubt that the one you buy from the USA will work on 240, they are obviously 2 separate products with a single manual (the one shared). Both of these tools have something to offer that the other does not. For instance, the Makita RT0701C has better RPM, is lighter, and has more included items. The disadvantage is that it has no built-in work light.

This is not a high powered router set, but it is certainly good enough for most woodworking tasks, and I believe if you are deciding what your first router should be, then this makes a very good choice. Makita RT0701C vs DeWalt DWP611… Both of these compact routers are equipped with a 1-1/4-HP motor that promises to “deliver power” to complete tough tasks. What’s the difference? Read along to find out.

The screws that came with my 611 mount were about 1/8″ too short. I remedied this by using a clamp to squeeze the mount closed before inserting the screws.

It is a superb quality unit and there's little doubt that it can do any routing job that you will ever need, as well as lasting a lifetime. I am looking to make this upgrade. The people I brought my machine from brought 25 different collet adapters fpr just about every size bit. I hope to make the upgrade in the next few weeks. Thanks for your directions and I will post my results after the upgrade. Reply And, for such a small router, the 1.5-inch cut depth is plenty for what most people need. The visibility is almost unmatched I wasn't happy with the edge guide that DeWalt makes for my DW618 routers, and the DNP611 one for the DWP611 is just a smaller version of it. I now have and use a CRB7 for all of my router jig needs when using my DWP611.

The Dewalt DWP611 Compact Router makes niche wood cuts so much easier. The fixed base wiggles slightly The DeWalt DWP611 is a 110v/220v handheld router that your simply remove from its base and insert it into the X-Carve as a spindle. You will need a DeWalt 611 spindle mount from Inventables to mount it, as the the DWP611 is a much larger unit and will not fit in the 24V spindle’s mount. The DeWalt 611 makes a fantastic spindle for the X-Carve, as compared to the original 24V DC spindle that was included. The original 24v spindle was extremely underpowered and had a hard time even cutting MDF and hardwood. Aluminum was basically out of the question, as you’d have to cut slow slowly and make so many passes that it just became an effort in futility. Does anyone happen to know if A: any other routers happen to be compatible with the diameter of the DeWalt DWP611, so that it would fit in this mount, or B: anywhere to buy different mounts for different routers? or C: any good place in the UK to buy a DeWalt DWP611. Any suggestions will be much appreciated :) Changing the depth of your cut is super easy with the Dewalt compact router. Just unclip a latch, spin the base until the bit is at the necessary depth, and then reclip the latch. No need to loosen a bolt or unscrew a tightening screw, or worse, loosen the collet and adjust the bit itself.
