will it router/ carve a wood panel that exceeds 18" in length?

Not in one pass it won't. If you are looking to route something that length, this is not what you want to use. Buy a router.

The base of my Craftsman is 6", I have no idea what the base would be on a plunge router I suspect that that would depend pm the Mfg.

If you can find a 1/8 inch collet for it. Most routers only come with 1/4 inch collets

The table extension on the right side is a plastic laminate, and I can't tell if you can easily cut the holes you need for the router. I wouldn't recommend it. There are four clearance holes on the left side of the top casting. You could easily design a router table mounting scheme using these holes. I would want it to be easily removable because otherwise it would interfer with sawing larger pieces.

It will somewhat if you use the guide attachments provided, but the best way to accomplish this is by investing in a router table. Once done you can easily use it as a fixed router, jointer, shaper, etc.

Yes but this bit is huge. You could get by a smaller one. This needs to be used with a router table.

Bit works fine for me....I would suspect too deep a cut rather than the motor. Try several shallow cuts if you haven't tried this already.Note that I used a Porter Cable model 6912, which is 1 3/4 hp, same as the router power you used.Of course if the router vibrated before it touched wood then you have a balance problem. Unlikely.

You use a 1 1/2 inch drill bit for the corners. Fine woodworking has a router bench that uses this item. I followed his comments on building a template and it worked very well for cutting this pattern out.

It will cut up to 6 1/8" in width. 1" X 6" is not the actual retail dimension of the wood (it is less) unless you cut wood to that size.

As others have stated, any router can be set-up on a table. I believe Rockler woodworking sells a plate for a small table. The real question is what type of work you plan to do with the router... The DeWalt DW P611 is a great little router. I use one on a CNC router... doing very fine detail work. It does, however, have limitations. Serious woodworkers usually prefer a router with a 1/2" collet. The 1/2" bits are more robust and come in a wide selection of profiles... and with an adapter, 1/4" bits can be used... adding versatility. As for power, if for example, you will be making door panels, the Dewalt would not be a good choice. I have 3 1/2" routers in the 2 1/2 to 3 hp range. Another nice feature to consider is a "plunge" Again, it all depends what you plan to use it for...

Hey there, I can't understand why you would even think of this product for use with a router table. What are you trying to do? This is basically a quick use tool for cross cutting lumber with a circular saw or maybe with a jig saw.

No, it will only cut material up to 9" wide. It's designed to cut a boards length, like when you get to the other wall in the room.

No. This is a router, not a carving tool. Way to many RPM's to handle that small of shank with any pressure applied at all. Not only would it be a potential breakage of a bit shaft it would be a potential dangerous way to operate the tool. There is a reason that they do not offer it as an accessory...

The Fasteners 18 gauge do not have much holding power. If you are building a 5/8" thick board nailed to a 2x4 I do not believe that will work. This tool is better suited for light mouldings and trim work.

I have used a 3 1/2 inch raised panel bit with this mounted in my router table. Of course with the speed dialed down to what they recommend. And that bit has a 1/2 inch shank. It does a great job.

It probably would. The product comes with a long 1" x 2" strip that that can be cut down to the size you need. Unfortunately, mine have already been cut so I don't remember how long the strip was to begin with. I would think if the piece wasn't long enough, you could probably purchase a longer one at a lumber store.
