This superb model is ideal for laminate trimming and general edge work, especially intensive production work. The large base plate provides good balance and control on the edge of the work piece and the pistol grip design with built in on/off switch gives greater control and safety. The copy follower and built in fine height and edge adjusters ensure accurate edge trimming. With the addition of an optional parallel fence, the DW609 can also be used as a fixed base router.
