    Q:I’ve had this router for a coulple years now and love it! I purchased the straight edge adapter with dust collection along with it, works great. I’ve started to do more projects with curved edges/circle jig however (mostly on MDF), therefore dust flies everywhere! Is there a dust collection adapter I can purchase for the curved edges?

    Answer This Question

    A:  There are no edge guides for curved edges you will have to create the curved edge guide. Is should be possible to create a curved guide and attach it to the commercial guide. For the Fixed Base there is a Dust Collection Adapter PN: DN615 and Edge Guide PN: DNP618, for the Plunge Base the Dust Collection Adapter PN: DNP616 and Edge Guide PN: DW6913. These are not standard stock items for most sales outlets so you will probably need to locate them on the Web.

      A:  The DNP616 is the vacuum adapter for the plunge base and DNP615 is for the fixed base.

                        A:  I don't know, call Dewalt

                        by|Dec 12, 2018

                          A:  Try to contact Dewalt and see if they have it, or check this website (www.ereplacementparts.com) they carry all kind of parts.

                          by|Jul 3, 2020

                          A:  Part number for the base alone is DNP612. I do not believe that HD sells the base by itself online. You may need to go to a local store to order one.

                          by|Dec 11, 2018

                          A:  I strongly advise that anytime you install a plunge router base that you use an alignment cone, this assures that anytime you use a template guide in the base your cutter will be properly centered..

                          by|Dec 22, 2018

                            A:  Never seen it offered by itself through retailers. You could always check with customer service either at HD or through Actual manufacturer

You may be able to "special order" this item through the Tool Department of your local Home Depot store. We hope this information is helpful, we appreciate your business.
