Furnishings or other woodworking performed in a factory often requires industrial router bits to add design and stability to the products being created. Even if you craft wood items in your own home, you may want to consider industrial router bits if you frequently work on larger products or have a shop outside your home especially for woodworking.
Woodworking is both a hobby for some and a way to make money for others. Industrial router bits allow you to do all kinds of things, from creating strong joints for bookcases, shelves and cabinets to creating grooves and making decorative edges. You can start with a basic piece of wood, and end up with a cabinet, bookshelf, door or piece of furniture that is exquisite in detail.

Here are a few tips before you begin using these wonderful tools that will make things simpler - especially if this is your first project.
1. Make sure to use a sharp bit, as one that is dull can easily damage your wood.
2. Practice makes perfect! Before you begin your actual woodworking project, try your router bits out on a scrap piece of wood so that you can determine the best speed for you and how to move through the wood without burning it or causing your router to overheat.
3. Listen to the sound of your router as you practice. You can tell a lot about whether you are moving at an efficient speed that is neither too slow nor too fast by simply listening for a whirring or dragging sound.
Once you use the tips above, you will quickly get the knack for using your industrial router bits.
It's important to be familiar with the tools and attachments you plan to use, so that you can insert them correctly and adjust the cutting depth. Inserting them correctly is crucial; without a tight connection, a bit could fly off and injure you if the router is operating at a high rate of speed. Whether you are a hobbyist just starting out in woodworking, or you build furniture or other wood goods for a living, industrial router bits will come in handy for creating unique, beautiful pieces.

The 2-1/4-horsepower, 12 amp motor allows the router to cut through the toughest hardwoods. The router's electronic variable-speed trigger lets you select from between 8,000 and 24,000 rpm for specific applications. And because this system employs full electronic feedback, you can trust the router to provide constant speed under load. In addition, the motor's soft start reduces start-up torque for optimum control.
The router's fixed base features a micro-fine depth-adjustment ring that provides precise bit adjustments in 1/64-inch increments. Because the ring--not the motor can--turns to adjust bit depth, a constant switch/cordset location is maintained when you are using the router in a table. This minimizes difficulty in turning the unit on and off and keeps operation consistent.
The plunge base features an adjustable five-position turret stop for use when making repeated plunge cuts. The easy-to-reach plunge-release lever and switch keep control at your fingertips during routing.
Quick, Secure Base and Bit Changes
The clear, LEXAN sub-base offers optimum bit visibility and base durability, and it accepts standard template-guide bushings to make application-specific setups easy. Also, a sub-base concentricity gauge is included. If you insert this into the collet prior to bit installation, it will help you center the sub-base relative to bit location when making your cut line off of the side of the base.
Moreover, the sub-base and other included bases are designed to make both base and bit changes easy. Quick-release motor latches allow for fast and easy motor-pack removal, while a spindle-lock button allows for single-wrench bit changes. The fixed base also offers a flat top, so the router can be set upside down for easy bit and depth changes. Additionally, long, self-releasing, eight-slotted collets provide improved bit retention and prevent bits from jamming.
Built for Consistency and Durability
Routing applications produce a lot of dust, which can result in extra wear and tear on electronic parts. That's why this system features a dust-sealed switch that protects against dust ingestion for longer tool life. Other components that contribute to the tool's overall consistency and durability include heavy-duty metal housings, precision-machined brass bushings, and case-hardened steel guide rods on the plunge base.
Comfortable Operation with Integrated Dust Control
Each base features comfortable rubber over-molded handles and a low center of gravity for improved balance and control and reduced user fatigue. The base also has a patented through-the-column dust-collection system. This allows a vacuum to be attached to the router without blocking your line of sight.
In addition, this router kit offers you the ability to work with the switch and cordset on either your left or right side. Also contributing to this setup's usability is a detachable cordset that can be easily serviced. A shorty cord motor pack is not required if you opt to place the motor can in a D-Handle base.
The DW618PK DEWALT 2-1/4-Inch EVS Fixed Base/ Plunge Base Router Combo Kit with Soft Start is backed by a three-year limited warranty.
