DWP611

The DeWalt DWP611 (European model D26200) is the standard choice for the Shapeoko 3.


 * US: http://www.dewalt.com/tools/woodworking-routers-dwp611.aspx
 * EU: http://www.dewalt.co.uk/powertools/productdetails/catno/D26200/ --- note that the bundled collet size will vary based on locality, 6.35mm (compatible with the 1/4" endmill bundled w/ the machine is common, but 8mm is not unheard of)

It is also available as the DNP611 which is a bare (motor) unit and necessary adjuncts, but no accessories (bases) which allow stand-alone use. Prices on this vary widely, apparently the DNP-series is considered a replacement part and is stocked by stripping compleat sets. Porter-Cable equivalent is Model 450 Type 1.

Please note pricing and availability is subject to change, esp. w/ marketplace vendors.

Collets and Nuts
The standard collet that ships with this router is 1/4" (6.35mm). According to some reports, Dewalt will accept 6mm as well as 1/4" bits. Other collets & nuts (1/4", 1/8", 3/16") are available from several vendors, namely:
 * U.S.
 * https://shop.carbide3d.com/products/precision-collet-and-nut-for-dewalt-dwp611
 * Elaire Corporation (category: Dewalt Style Palm Router Collets) --- please note that the mobile version of their site seems to not list all products, incl. the collets in question. Be certain to match against the part # for the collet for your router so as to ensure compatibility.
 * Precise Bits --- ER-style. Ordering 1 nut per collet highly recommended.
