I will be attaching my DW 625 to my router insert tomorrow night. Before I do so I have a question on how all of you guys adjust your height of your router.
So how do you set up your heighth and fine adjust the height on one of these big boy plunge jobs and get it ready to do some routing? Do you basically lower the top limit stop so the router is raised in the table or do you just use that knob to do all adjusting of the height? Do you lock the plunge in or do you even mess with the plunge while in the table. Appreciate any help here as I just don't have a clue in the proper way to get one of these big plungers ready to route in a table.
I did use it buy itself tonight. Plunges great and the VS is very smooth. The soft start isn't like on the DW 618. It is more of a delay than a soft start, from still to the router setting pretty quickly. I liked setting the VS low and then adjusting the VS when it was up to speed. Doesn't seem to have great set up for DC but it will be in the table most of the time and using that DC set up.
Thanks,
Corey
