DEWALT DCW604NT-XJ 18V XR Brushless Cordless Router, Body Only

The DEWALT 18V XR Brushless Cordless Router, Body Only, is a battery-powered woodworking router rated at 930 W. It is intended for edge profiling, grooving, trimming and related routing work. The 18 V XR platform supplies the tool, while variable-speed control covers 16,000 to 25,500 RPM. This range allows cutter speed to be matched to different materials and finishing requirements. Its brushless motor provides the drive without the carbon brushes used in conventional brushed motors.

At 2.4 kg before a battery is fitted, the router's operating weight will vary with the compatible pack selected. The soft-grip body gives the user a defined gripping surface during longer routing sessions. Battery and charger are not supplied, so this version is primarily relevant to users who already own compatible DEWALT 18V XR equipment. The cordless format removes a trailing mains lead from movement around a workpiece. Its body-only configuration also lets existing platform users choose a battery capacity suited to the job rather than accepting a bundled pack.

• Fixed base: supports controlled routing at a consistent base position.
• 6 mm, 6.35 mm and 8 mm collet capacity: accepts several commonly used cutter shank sizes.
• Spindle lock: holds the spindle during cutter changes.
• Soft start: brings the cutter up to operating speed gradually.
• Restart protection: helps prevent unintended start-up after a power interruption.
• Integrated LED lights: illuminate the cutter area during use.
