Which is better dw621 or dw618?
1862960
One is a plunge router the other is fixed. So it is not an apples to apples comparison. However I used the 621 plunge router. I have a 2 star review of I on Amazon I did not like it for 3 primary reasons: bad plunge and debt control mechanism, bad chip clearing due to the vacuum system and tendency to tip over due to the narrow base high handle combination. Because of these issues, I caould not recommend 621 at all. 618 is a fixed base and its handles are really low and it does not have a vacuum mechanism. That means that it will not have the 3 issues I listed. Given the two choices you provided, I would go with 618. Look at a different brand for a plunge router. I hope this helps.

DW621, as it is variable speed with soft start and thus, 2 hp instead of 1.75.

Hands down the dw621 is the better router. Excellent micro depth adjustment, dust pick up, base has parallel sides. The only draw back is the switch, it takes getting used to, there's some awkward finger/wrist movement required.

I have used the dw621 lightly for several years. It is easy to use, has precise calibrations and maintains constant velocity on all but the largest cuts. I have not complaints concerning it. I had one DeWalt router that burned out but forget the model number, it may have been the dw618, but it was many years ago.

I'm not positive, but I believe it's because the DM145 was polycrystalline, while the DM158w is monocrystalline. I have a single DM145 on my RV and couldn't be more pleased. Now that I want to upgrade, it would be nice if I could buy a single DM158w. I don't really need 2 of them.

DMC-ZS6 has 12.1 MP while DMC-ZS25 has 16.0 MP so the higher number model is better.

the printing on the bat 200 is of better quality and it looks like the same product except the next generation. I modified my 168 as completely closing it put pressure (over extension on the internal spring). Just my view but the later model is has some changes that I modified mine with.

Not really sure... I have the SR model which seems a bit cheaper. The SRW may have some tweaks in design and features but otherwise, they seem to be about the same.

I bought a D610, but it was a gift for my husband, so I really can't compare. You could ask him if you want, <smith@lightlink.com>

I have not used the 172, but in terms of specifications the 173 is clearly much better.

M57 appears to have a larger capacity, is heavier (more metal parts I believe). I switched from the M53 to the M57 with no problem in the sump pit in my basement. I figured the bigger capacity might make it last longer. Both are very quiet and efficient.

I would definitely think so. Suction power in my opinion would be the most important thing. That is the reason I stayed away from DC24. It would have been DC25 or DC18 but the cheaper price got the deal in favor of DC18. Just now picked up the DC18 (discountinued as of Sep 08) using the 20% discount coupon at Bed,Bath&Beyond. Haven't opened it yet, but hope the experience would be a good one. Good luck to you.

Yes. More Steam release to the fabric to eithe add a crease or remove a wrinkle . Much improvement over the DW6080. You won't be disappointed.

As far as I can tell, the only difference is the SB6180 has slightly higher theoretical speeds and couple extra security features. I doubt most people would notice a difference the two of them.

I just upgraded my 8600 plus to the 8620 today and have aleady noticed alot of little enhacements. The automatic document feeder is more reliable and handles larger loads. Duplex printing is much faster. The output tray is less sticky and doesn't jam as easily when you pull it out.

You have to have the old design of the dw 718. I actually returned my dw718 for a different dw718 at Lowes. They thought I was crazy. But what happened when they redesigned it, with some great improvments, is that DeWalt changed the handle and the laser does not fit on the new design. DeWalt may have a fix since about 18 mo. ago that I'm not aware of, but otherwise you need to look for the 718 from the correct year. Now, if you have the proper design, then the instructions are straightforward, but i'm happy to help if you need it. DeWalt also has service centers and their products carry initial service agreements if I recall correctly. Hope this helps, but feel free to ping me again here if needed. Cheers!

The DW 2166 45 piece, DW 2161 21 piece or the DW 2162 29 piece These 3 are "screw & nut drivers. They all snap in and have the adapter. They are easy and quick to handle. Ken

Hello. I have the Dcb200 and use it only when needed, but it works great; the Dcb 204 has about 1/3 more than the 204, but have a large job and the 200 had to be re=charged; I am very happy with the 200; it is not very heavy to carry. Another man who does carpentry uses 5 of the 200 series and is very pleased with it. I hope this helps you to make a choice. The lighter battery let's a person work faster also.

this one has the 1/4 inch quick change chuck that you can put different drivers in, and it looks like the wt01w has a 3/8 built in, which you would need adapters to use anything but a 3/8 drive socket with. these don't have a lot of power compared to the 18v you may want to get the bigger one if you need any power. i use mine just for driving screws and other small things

If I remember correctly it was the DW 4763. I used it for a couple of months, then bought the DW4764 which is much better for porcelain.
