Oh and give this video a like and subscribe if it was of any help 😁
Couple of thing don’t push router bit all way in leave some of shank showing not a lot and the router will only fit in plunge base one way if you want to turn it on the other way the on off is covered by the taller yellow bit if that helps anyone 👍🏻. And as strange as it sounds the clear base on trim base if you are going to follow a straight edge use the round end against the wood the straight edge tends to weave in and out from video I watched

Trend router bits should have a K mark on the shank to show how far in they should be inserted. If you swap the bases do not forget to use the centreing tool provided (the little "don't know" bar shown at the unboxing, together with the centreing cone) before tightening up the base screws. Obvious if you know, but not so obvious if this is your first router.
Have you ever heard of punctuation such as periods and commas?
Does the fine adjustment ring also work in "plunge mode"?
Very cool video
Thank you 😊
Hi. Thanks for the review. One question you may be able to answer. How far above or below the plunge base does the collet go at full plunge? I make router trays and shallow bowls. I do the main routing with my full size machine and I use a palm router to tidy up the bottom of my tray or bowl. If I can get an idea of where the bottom of the collet is, I can estimate the approximate depth available to me based on the bit I use. Thanks. This info would be a great help.
Hey. Good question!!
Just had a check
It drops a few mm below the base when in the trim router and sits about one 10mm above the base when in the plunge.
Hope that helps some what 👍
@@WavyWoodwork Brilliant, exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for the help.
@@shanecummins5108 no worries 🙌
Out of interest, did you ever skim/flatten the top of the pallet table you made with this router, and was it up to the job? Thanks
Paul. Yes I did and I definitely encountered some first timer/amateur issues!! Make sure to use a good and appropriate router bit. What I found out to be most important (found out the hard way), take small amounts off at at time. I tried about 5mm to start with and it ran the battery’s down super quick!! Check out my other videos to see the results though 😁
Hello what is the difference between 604 and 600
just different set: 600 don't have a plunge base
Great review, but in the future, I hope you don’t forget to use a mask and ear and eye protection when working with the router and wood in general.
You talked about safety, but you're not wearing earplugs or ear defenders, or googles
Sound too low
Hi I’ve just brought the dewalt DCW604M2 I know it’s a nt is the last letters and numbers to do with what comes with it. It was this one or the p2 and would you know if the m2 is a good one to start with cheers steve👨🏼🦽
Hey Steve
I’ve not used the M2 or P2, but have found all the Dewalt tools tend to be pretty handy. One bit of advice I did see is the router bits tend to be an important part for quality of work. Having said that I bought some cheaper router bit and they are great (may not last as long though).
@@WavyWoodwork @Steve-dr7rr Late to this party and a bit surprised that a kit reviewer doesn't already know, but in case it helps someone else: Steve, you are correct to think that the product code suffix refers to 'what comes with it'. Whether you have the "N", P1, M2 or whatever, you've got the *same* router.
The "T" in the suffix denotes the inclusion of a T-Stak kitbox. "N" means a "bare" tool with no charger or batteries. The other letters and numeral refer to the number and type of included batteries (and charger): D refers to 2.0Ah cylinder cell XR batteries, M is 4.0Ah and P is 5.0Ah, and there are other letters to denote the PowerStack and Flexvolt batteries. H refers to 5.0Ah PowerStack, X is 9.0Ah Flexvolt, for example.
So a DCW604M2T (for example) is the DCW604 router in a T-Stak box, with a charger and 2 off 4.0Ah batteries included. "P1" would mean a charger and a single 5.0Ah pack included, and so-on.
And yes, good quality, sharp cutters are a pre-req for easy work and good output, but that's a whole separate topic.
What? WHAT???!!! 👂🦻
